Resistance Reading Room
The Resistance is now. Join us twice-monthly as we share and discuss relevant readings for our moment in US politics, and what we can do from Paris — with eyes on helping Democrats taking back House and Senate in 2026.
Readings for Feb 10 & 24 Meetings:
- Core text: On Freedom by Timothy Snyder. On Tyranny inspired millions around the world to fight for freedom; On Freedom helps us see exactly what we're fighting for. Available at Shakespeare & Company.
- Podcast: "On Freedom: A Conversation with Timothy Snyder" - Politics Girl Podcast interview. "Freedom is the great American commitment" - why upholding it our only chance for survival. Listen here.
- Fiction: "Let America be America Again" by Langston Hughes (1936) - Read here.
This is not homework, even if Resistance is work -- we will always feature a core text, an article, and a work of poetry or short fiction selected to guide our discussion but please do not feel pressured to read it all: read what you can, as you can. And if you can't get to it please join us anyway for a drink and good discussion. Hope to see you there!
This event is free and open to DA members. New members always welcome. To join Democrats Abroad go here: www.democratsabroad.org/join (Membership is free and open to US citizens 18 years of age or older and living abroad.)
