The Poli Ed Working Group will return for the Reading Group on the third Thursday of each month.

We encourage people to come and join in the discussion even if they haven't finished the reading, so if the length is a barrier, you can always just choose to read a couple chapters that interest you most. We are reading the first chapter of a socialist introduction to Palestine. PDF available here: Socialist Intro to Palestine  

We are also watching Ilan Pappe recent lecture "Is Zionism Finished"

These are in person meetings due to the loud public location. When we're settled in a new location, we will hold these as hybrid meetings again.

Join us on the first Thursday of the month to help plan future activities for the Poli Ed Committee. The world is run by those who show up!
