Anto-Authoritarian Book Club August 5

Anti-Authoritarians Reading Group 2025

Meetings: Tuesdays 18:00-19:15 CET each week. When you sign up, we will provide you with a Zoom link for the meeting. 

We read and discussed sections of Project 2025 and related articles by others up to the election. We are now going forward reading articles on Democracy. We will continue to post on our Anti-Authoritarian Signal group. 

If you have a Signal account you can ask to join our Anti Authoritarians chat group. If you do not have a Signal account it is easy to get one as long as you have a networked cell phone. And, once it is on your phone it can be on your laptop too. Signal is freeware and does not gather your data.

Group Reading: The Book Is Autocracy,Inc by Anne Applebaum. Because we don't know if everyone can get a copy in time we will discuss the introduction for next time, and if you have time also read Chapter 1. We will see how many have read it and discuss as much as we can.

Action Items: Update on Health Care Website?

Schedule reading the rest of the book and set a first date for our next book.
