SUMMARY:Banned Book Club\, ‘Allow Me to Retort’
DESCRIPTION:RSVP on Mobilize for address: https://mobilize.us/s/NTKG0A \nJoin the Paulding County Democrats for the monthly meeting of our Banned Book Club. We have expanded the definition of our club to include political books. Let’s explore the stories challenged and understand the importance of freedom of expression. \nOur November book selection is “Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution” by Elie Mystal. Allow Me to Retort is an easily digestible argument about what rights we have\, what rights Republicans are trying to take away\, and how to stop them. Mystal explains how to protect the rights of women and people of color instead of cowering to the absolutism of gun owners and bigots. He explains the legal way to stop everything from police brutality to political gerrymandering\, just by changing a few judges and justices. He strips out all of the fancy jargon conservatives like to hide behind\, and lays bare the truth of their project to keep America forever tethered to its slaveholding past. \nMystal brings his trademark humor\, expertise\, and rhetorical flair to explain concepts like substantive due process and the right for the LGBTQ community to buy a cake\, and to arm readers with the knowledge to defend themselves against conservatives who want everybody to live under the yoke of eighteenth-century white men. The same tactics Mystal uses to defend the idea of a fair and equal society on MSNBC and CNN are in this book\, for anybody who wants to deploy them on social media. \nYou don’t need to be a legal scholar to understand your own rights. You don’t need to accept the “whites only” theory of equality pushed by conservative judges. You can read this book to understand that the Constitution is trash\, but doesn’t have to be.

SUMMARY:Dallas Christmas Parade
DESCRIPTION:Come ride the Paulding Democrats float in the Dallas Christmas Parade! We play great music\, bring great snacks\, and have a great time showing Paulding County that DEMOCRATS LIVE HERE.

To order a Paulding Democrats sweatshirt\, visit https://secure.actblue.com/donate/pcdcmerch and place your order by November 23 to receive at the parade. \nThe roads around the parade route are closed that morning. If you don’t want to walk a long way to get to us\, please meet at 9:30 a.m. at the Watson Government Complex\, 280 Constitution Boulevard in Dallas. Use the parking lot to the west of the courthouse building\, near Justice Center Drive. You can ride the float to our lineup location and help put the final touches on our float. \nIn case you can’t meet at Watson\, we will let you know where to find our float as soon as we get our line-up information. In past years\, we have lined up near 519 Hardee Street. You may be able to park at the Paulding Community Center\, 210 Paulding Lane\, and then cross the pedestrian bridge to get to us. You will need to be at the float absolutely no later than 10:45 a.m. \nThe parade steps off at 11 a.m. and lasts about an hour. \nWe will work our way back to Watson after the parade to return folks to their cars.

SUMMARY:Banned Book Club\, "The Bluest Eye"
DESCRIPTION:Event is hosted at a private residence. Please register on Mobilize (https://mobilize.us/s/URVld1) for address.\nJoin the Paulding County Democrats for the monthly meeting of our Banned Book Club. We have expanded the definition of our club to include political books. Let’s explore the stories challenged and understand the importance of freedom of expression. \nOur January book selection is “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison. \nIn Morrison’s acclaimed first novel\, Pecola Breedlove—an 11-year-old Black girl in an America whose love for its blond\, blue-eyed children can devastate all others—prays for her eyes to turn blue: so that she will be beautiful\, so that people will look at her\, so that her world will be different. This is the story of the nightmare at the heart of her yearning\, and the tragedy of its fulfillment. \nSince its publication\, the book has consistently landed on the American Library Association’s list of most challenged books. Reasons cited have included\, “sexually explicit material\,” “lots of graphic descriptions and lots of disturbing language\,” and “an underlying socialist-communist agenda.” \nThe Bluest Eye remains one of Toni Morrison’s most powerful\, unforgettable novels—and a significant work of American fiction. \nPlease\, read the book before the meeting. \nCoffee and soft drinks will be provided. Please bring a snack to share. \nLet’s stand together for the freedom to read and share ideas!
