This will be the third 4-book series facilitated by the Educators for Democracy team at The Institute for Common Power. The Educators for Democracy are current frontline teachers who are experienced in instructional design and who are committed to the work of teaching truth. For the Fall 2025 series we are intentionally highlighting graphic novel and younger reader texts. This series will feature discussion of:

September 8th - Kindred by Octavia Butler (read either the graphic novel or original novel)

October 14th - How the García Girls Lost Their Accents by Julia Alvarez (young adult)

November 11th - March by John Lewis (read all three books or just book one)

December 9th - Gender Queer by Maia Kobabe (graphic novel)

All meetings are on the following Tuesdays (aside from the 8th) from 4:30-6:00 PST / 7:30-9:00 EST

Banned Books Club is a free event (donations always appreciated!) facilitated by the Educators for Democracy team at The Institute for Common Power.
