Secular Haven: Longmont Book Club, How To Stand Up To A Dictator, by Maria Ressa

Hello Friends, join us for a discussion of this important book by Maria Ressa, the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Maria Ressa is one of the most renowned international journalists of our time.

Democracy is fragile. How to Stand Up to a Dictator is an urgent cry for Western readers to recognize and understand the dangers to our freedoms before it is too late. It is a book for anyone who might take democracy for granted, written by someone who never would. And in telling her dramatic and turbulent and courageous story, Ressa forces readers to ask themselves the same question she and her colleagues ask every day: What are you willing to sacrifice for the truth?

I will bring coffee, cream, and sugar, feel free to being your own snack or drink of choice. I look forward to seeing all of you!
