Social Action Book Group
2:30 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 3, 2019
Join us for a discussion of Nomadland by Jessica Bruder. The book centers on how the loss of affordable housing has moved populations, especially the elderly, to become nomads in RVs and campgrounds.
To quote: “From the beet fields of North Dakota to the National Forest campgrounds of California to Amazon’s Camper Force program in Texas, employers have discovered a new, low-cost labor pool, made up largely of transient older Americans.”
We will meet at 2:30 p.m., Sunday, Feb. 3, 2019, in the Congregation Beth Israel Social Hall.
