Please join us in welcoming Oak Park Village Trustee Brian Straw!

Trustee Straw first served in Oak Park on the Transportation Commission before being elected to the Village Board. More recently he was in the news when he was charged by federal prosecutors in connection with his peaceful protests at the Broadview ICE Detention Facility. The felony charges have been dropped, but he is still facing misdemeanor charges. We are excited to welcome him as our guest speaker!

It's the one year anniversary of the DPOP Bookclub! Come celebrate with us for our April bookclub! All are welcome!

We are reading Giving Up is Unforgivable: A Manual for Keeping a Democracy by Joyce Vance.

Purchase the book here: https://bit.ly/4sW3gOc
or
Borrow the book from the Oak Park Public Library here: https://bit.ly/4c2sweq

Giving Up Is Unforgivable is a call to action, putting our current crisis in historical context and sketching out a vision for where we go next. Vance’s message is hopeful at its heart, even as it acknowledges the daunting challenges that lie ahead. She is the constitutional law professor you never knew you needed, explaining the legal context and the political history— and why the rule of the law still matters. At the same time, she empowers the reader to do something, both as individuals and collectively.
