Due to low registration, this book club will be combined with the book club hosted by the McLean County YWCA on February 22nd from 12-1 pm. This will be the same facilitated discussion. To register, please go to this link: ywcamclean.org/communitytraining.

Join us for our community book club, where we will discuss the book Just Mercy and consider how systemic discrimination based on race and class affects the justice system. We have copies of the book and movie available for checkout.

The Just Mercy book group is part of Illinois State University’s Center for Civic Engagement’s series on Exploring Wicked Problems: Community Safety and Justice and is supported by Fell Trust grant funds.
