The San Juan County Democrats are pleased to host a conversation about defending our democracy from racism and the radical right with Friday Harbor author David Neiwert and Senator Kevin Ranker. The event will be at 5-7 pm on Thursday, May 31, 2018 at Brickworks in Friday Harbor. Q&A will follow.
David is the author of several books on racism and radical right groups in the USA, including the recently released “Alt-America: The Rise of the Radical Right in the Age of Trump”. In 2015, he also published “Of Orcas and Men: What Whales Can Teach Us” focused on the plight of the orcas of the Salish Sea. David, who has appeared on the Rachel Maddow Show, is also the Northwest correspondent for the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Kevin Ranker, our Senator for the state’s 40th legislative district including San Juan County, has a long history of strong support for the protection of civil rights and the environment, etc.
