      CTU book club on racial & economic justice

    The CTU will be starting a book club so our members can read a chosen book and have discussions (virtually through Zoom until further notice).

If you're interested in particpating, use this form to sign up to be contacted when we are ready to kick-off the first official book! https://forms.gle/rtX3GPT8V9J4FJUH8
