Join us to discuss The Great Displacement: Climate Change and the Next American Migration by Jake Bittle. We will meet on Zoom on Monday, July 14 at 6:30 p.m. Please email Sharon Slettehaugh (s.slettehaugh@gmail.com) to join the email list and receive the Zoom link.
*Please note that Evening Book Club moved to the second Monday to avoid some holidays and big LWV events.
"A human-centered narrative with national scope, The Great Displacement is “a vivid tour of the new human geography just coming into view” (David Wallace-Wells, New York Times bestselling author of The Uninhabitable Earth). From half-drowned Louisiana to fire-scorched California, from the dried-up cotton fields of Arizona to the soaked watersheds of inland North Carolina, people are moving. In the last few decades, the federal government has moved tens of thousands of families away from flood zones, and tens of thousands more have moved of their own accord in the aftermath of natural disasters. Insurance and mortgage markets are already shifting to reflect mounting climate risk, pricing people out of risky areas."
Please join the League of Women Voters of Saint Paul (LWVSP) and our co-sponsors -- the Union Park District Council and the Midway Chamber of Commerce -- for a candidate forum for the special election for the St. Paul City Council Seat for Ward 4.
The event will take place at SPNN's studios on Vandalia Street; it will also stream live on YouTube and be archived there for later viewing [LINK PENDING].
Please email lwvstpaul@lwvmn.org with any questions for the candidates or issue specific questions.

Join LWVSP Morning Book Club to discuss The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory: American Evangelicals in an Age of Extremism by Tim Alberta. We will meet at Highland Park Library (1974 Ford Parkway) on Wednesday, September 10 at 10 am. You are welcome to join even if you haven't read the book.
"Evangelical Christians are perhaps the most polarizing—and least understood—people living in America today. In his seminal new book, The Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, journalist Tim Alberta, himself a practicing Christian and the son of an evangelical pastor, paints an expansive and profoundly troubling portrait of the American evangelical movement. Through the eyes of televangelists and small-town preachers, celebrity revivalists and everyday churchgoers, Alberta tells the story of a faith cheapened by ephemeral fear, a promise corrupted by partisan subterfuge, and a reputation stained by perpetual scandal."
