May Book Club Reading Plan

It’s been a rocky road since Trump got back into office. I’ve been busy organizing locally. I created a Reproductive Mutual Aid, and have been distributing pads, tampons, Plan B, and Birth Control. I want to get back into our Book Club, because it’s going to be more important than ever to stay educated on what is happening and to share our knowledge with others. In December, I had planned for us to read The War on Choice, but I never managed to get through that month. Let’s pick this book back up and keep going!

In May, we will be reading:
