Join us for a virtual book study and discussion of current topics in this year’s series of Conversations & Actions in a Time of Peril .

Facism, nationalism and hatred are on the rise worldwide. Those of us in the US can no longer turn away and tell ourselves that it can’t happen here. It is, and fast. ASDIC invites you to join us for a winter book group focusing on understanding and countering these noxious ideologies. We will draw primarily from new works by Ece Temelkuran as well as the powerful and prophetic voices of those who are building a resistance movement here and abroad in these perilous times.

Our main text that we are asking folks to purchase are “ How to Lose a Country: The Seven Steps from Democracy to Dictatorship” by Ece Temelkuran. The other book that will inform the conversation is “Democracy Awakening: Notes on the State of America” by Heather Cox Richardson.
