DPOP BOOK CLUB
DPOP Book Club
Join the DPOP Book Club! We welcome seasoned and new DPOPers alike! All are welcome!
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, October 28th at 7pm in the Community Room at DPOP.
We will be reading Democracy in Retrograde: How to Make Changes Big and Small in Our Country and in Our Lives by Sami Sage and Emily Amick. In today’s political climate, it’s hard not to get discouraged. Isolated, doom scrolling, lacking a sense of purpose or community...it’s easy to become overwhelmed by the dire state of American democracy and do nothing, because why try when the odds are never in our favor?
You can buy a copy here or reserve the book from the Oak Park Library here. Let us know if you are having trouble getting ahold of the book.
About the book
At this fragile moment in history, Emily Amick, lawyer and former counsel to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, alongside New York Times bestselling author and Betches Media cofounder Sami Sage, want to reframe civic engagement as a form of self-care: an assertion of one’s values and self-respect. This book is not just about voting, but about claiming your singular place in your country and community.

SECOND SATURDAY MEETING
Second Saturday Meeting
What a great crowd we had today for U.S. Rep. Robin Kelly and IL Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton! Thanks to everyone who came out and learned more about these candidates for the United States Senate! We had a lively discussion with interesting questions from the engaged audience.
And we want to thank our very own Senate President Don Harmon, Assistant Minority Leader Rep. Camille Lilly, and all of the candidates running for office who were present for the meeting. Many thanks to the amazing staff at the Oak Park Public Library for all of the help you gave us today. We hope to see many of you at our next Second Saturday meeting on October 11th!
