Final League Book Club Discussion on Poverty (Updated)

Update 4/22 @ 8:35 a.m.: Correction made to Deb Gamble’s phone number.

League Book Club Discussion on Poverty April 25

The Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee of the League of Women Voters Whitewater Area will hold the last of its three Book Club discussions on Thursday evening, April 25, 6 PM-8 PM, in the Irvin L Young Memorial Library, 431 W Center
St, Whitewater. The conclusion of Poverty, by America, by Pulitzer Prize winning author Matthew Desmond will be discussed.

Desmond draws upon history, research and original reporting to argue that poverty in America persists because the rest of us benefit from it. Please join us to investigate new ways of imagining solutions to a morally urgent problem and engage in how to usher in an age of shared prosperity.

The LWV Book Club was formed to help our members and friends engage in meaningful discussions of current notable books dealing with public policy issues of interest to the League. You do not need to be a member of the League to participate!
Please contact Deb Gamble (262-853-1946 or shebagam@gmail.com) for questions or further information.
