Books and Breakfast | October | #KillTheVote | North STL

  • YMCA

We dedicate 2 Saturdays per month to #BooksandBreakfast, a community event for the Greater St. Louis area. The goal of B&B is to cultivate an environment that promotes connectivity and open dialogue surrounding social justice issues, political theory, and educational development.

By providing positive images and informative literature we will increase awareness and enhance skills needed to actively combat local issues. Awareness, healthy breakfast and lots of hugs.

This month we will discuss voting in local and national elections, the electoral college, and ways to be politically involved outside of voting.
Please come out and join us for our Books and Breakfast program on the Northside from 10a-12p at O'Fallon Park YMCA.

*Feel free to dress up if you'd like.
*Raffle for those who bring back 2 or more books.
