Activism

[close] Radical Reading is a new GR bookclub group dedicated to nonfiction books on various topics from a progressive, liberating, anti-racist, feminist and queer perspective. We have buddy reads and an active discussion board, where we talk about the books we read, exchange ideas or just have fun. Our goal is to engage in lively, productive and respectful conversations to expand our horizon and become an advocate/activist for positive societal change. The range of nonfiction books we read and discuss is wide, covering genres such as history, economy, art, sociology or politics. Our group is still new and thus a work in progress, however we gladly welcome new members! Please read the guidelines for a membership request. Guidelines for requesting membership 1) Prospective members must have an active public profile; a request from an inactive and non-public profile is rejected 2) We have mandatory questions you must answer when you apply 3) Authors are welcome; however self-promotion is not allowed 4) We may reject an application if we feel that the person is not joining in good faith, e.g. just here to provoke, troll or spread hateful content; or for the reasons stated under 1) and 2)

[close] We're a collective of eco-conscious readers and activists based in Portland, OR. Here, passionate readers and activists unite to explore the depths of climate literature and inspire each other towards mindful, impactful living. We delve into books and media that open our eyes to the realities of climate change, brainstorm actionable steps to make a difference, and nurture a community that celebrates the joy of living harmoniously with nature. EcoCircle gatherings aren’t just about reading; we’re about transforming ideas into real-world actions and community engagement. We offer a supportive space to process the emotions like eco-grief and climate anxiety that come with this important work. Here, we listen, learn, and grow together, rallying around nature and uplifting each other as we work towards a greener, more sustainable future. Everyone’s journey is unique and valued, and we’re committed to making a tangible impact on our planet’s health.
