Radical Reads! (book/reading club)

Thursday April 7 from 6-8pm
Refreshments provided!

Join us this month for a continued discussion on the theme of rape culture – more specifically, we will be connecting this theme to the Julian Assange sexual assault case. All of the readings can be found online (links are provided below). If you would like addition reading, a chapter from Yes Means Yes, it is available at the Dr. Chun Resource Library for free.
