The Havurah Climate Action Team invites you to a book study and discussion on the deeper roots and local solutions to our critical environmental and social justice crises, and how we can further these solutions in our Portland-Metro region. Real life economics is more exciting and understandable than you think! We will use Enough is Enough, Building a Sustainable Economy on a Finite Planet by Dietz and O’Neill, with two chapters from Frances Moore Lappe’s EcoMind. Copies can be made of the EcoMind chapters. Supplemental pages and intro will also be provided from Paul Hawken’s Drawdown, and Kate Raworth’s, Doughnut Economics. Attending all four classes is not necessary. Syllabus is available. Please email questions, syllabus request, and RSVP below or send questions to Harriet at Holisticooke@aol.com. Small fee for handouts.

AprApril 30 , 2024(ZM) Book Group: Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders
Tuesday, Apr 30th 7:00p to 8:30p
February 1862. The Civil War is less than one year old. The fighting has begun in earnest, and the nation has begun to realize it is in for a long, bloody struggle. Meanwhile, President Lincoln’s beloved eleven-year-old son, Willie, lies upstairs in the White House, gravely ill. In a matter of days, despite predictions of a recovery, Willie dies and is laid to rest in a Georgetown cemetery. “My poor boy, he was too good for this earth,” the president says at the time. “God has called him home.” Newspapers report that a grief-stricken Lincoln returns, alone, to the crypt several times to hold his boy’s body. From that seed of historical truth, George Saunders spins an unforgettable story of familial love and loss that breaks free of its realistic, historical framework into a supernatural realm both hilarious and terrifying.
