What does freedom really mean — and how do we live it every day? Together, we’ll explore what freedom looks like in practice and how Timothy Snyder challenges us to rethink responsibility and courage. *Even if you haven’t finished the book — or didn’t even get started — you’re welcome to join the discussion and share your thoughts.* * **17:30–18:00** — Mingling and browsing at Backstory Bookshop * **18:00 sharp** — Book club begins. *Please arrive on time so we can start promptly and minimize interruptions. Thank you!* ***Discussion questions will be sent at least 24 hours before the event to everyone who RSVPs.*** Let us know if you’re interested in helping moderate the discussion. **\*\*\*To Attend, RSVP [HERE](https://www.democratsabroad.org/181073/_book_club_april_11_on_freedom_by_timothy_snyder)\*\*\*** **THE BOOK:** In *On Freedom*, Timothy Snyder offers a philosophical and historical reflection on what freedom truly means. Moving beyond slogans, he explores how freedom depends on truth, solidarity, responsibility, and meaningful connection with others. Thought-provoking and deeply relevant, this book invites us to rethink liberty not just as independence — but as something we build together. Last year we read Snyder’s *On Tyranny*, which inspired millions to fight for freedom. In *On Freedom*, the acclaimed Yale historian takes us on a philosophical and historical journey to understand exactly what freedom is, why it matters, and how we can protect it. Thought-provoking and urgent, this book invites us to rethink liberty not just as independence, but as a value we build and defend together. "**On Freedom**" is available from **Backstory Bookshop** in paperback or as an audiobook. **Paperback:** Stop by the shop, give them a call, or order online by [clicking here](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/on-freedom-2/). directly through Backstory. **Audiobook:** The audio version is approximately **8–9 hours** — a helpful guide to plan your reading time. ***🍝 Join us for Dinner with DA immediately following the book club.
