It's the one year anniversary of the DPOP Bookclub! Come celebrate with us for our April bookclub! All are welcome!
We are reading Giving Up is Unforgivable: A Manual for Keeping a Democracy by Joyce Vance.

Giving Up Is Unforgivable is a call to action, putting our current crisis in historical context and sketching out a vision for where we go next. Vance’s message is hopeful at its heart, even as it acknowledges the daunting challenges that lie ahead. She is the constitutional law professor you never knew you needed, explaining the legal context and the political history— and why the rule of the law still matters. At the same time, she empowers the reader to do something, both as individuals and collectively.

TONIGHT! Join us for DPOP's bookclub! We are reading two articles from The New Yorker.
The Oak Park Public Library subscribes to The New Yorker, so you can read these articles for free through Libby with your Oak Park Library card.
We are reading One Direction: What MAGA can teach Democrats about organizing - and infighting by Charles Duhigg from the February 2, 2026 issue of The New Yorker.
We are also reading Listening to Joe Rogan by David Remnick in the February 16 & 23, 2026 issue.
Please note that while we disagree with several people mentioned in the articles, we are looking to learn more about why some people are drawn to certain groups. We hope you'll join us in this exploration.
