Want to get a heads up on the book of the month before anyone else? Want to be on the VIP list for special offers and deals? Well, get on the list and you’ll be officially in the FBC loop!
![This month’s theme is as relevant as ever: Immigration 🌎️
It’s easy to say that immigrants deserve human rights, and it’s hard to believe that this fact has continued to be controversial. So many of us are, after all, living on stolen land, in a nation built by slaves and immigrants.
We know this means there’s a lot of work to do: to learn about the immigrant struggle, to develop empathy for their experiences, and to share their stories with others. With so many people displaced right now and a growing narrative of us vs. them, the civilized and the other, we’re grateful to have a space where our members can come together to do some of this work in our online community.
Want to get in on the conversation? Head to the link in our bio to check it out.
What books would you add that explore the theme of “immigration”?
