Book Club

Let’s stay curious and informed together! We’ve been reading about organizing strategy, climate solutions, and BIPOC history. Join us for a discussion every other Sunday.

Join us for one of our 2026 discussions!

Practical Radicals:

Welcome to the 350 Seattle community reading of Practical Radicals: Seven Strategies to Change the World. Whether you are brand new to social movements or have been organizing for decades, this book has so much to offer anyone who wants to resist injustice and build a better world – and we’re excited to learn with you!

You can participate by reading the book, listening to the podcast or just showing up! We have intentionally selected key chapters/podcast episodes and built a schedule that balances all the juicy material with what’s realistic between sessions.

Practical Radicals is available for free at the Seattle Public Library and King County Public Libraries both in physical book and audiobook formats. The podcast is available for free on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

You can check out more by exploring our Practical Radicals Coordination Doc. You can also sign up for our email list to get a weekly email with updates!

We meet every other week on Sundays from 1:30-3:30 in a hybrid format.
