Welcome!
The Organisers’ Book Club is for Greens Party members to learn more about organising, politics, and how to make political change.
Book is decided by attendees of the most recent meeting. Recommended books should be engaging, not too dense or long, and connected to progressive politics and organising. None of these books are an endorsement of our views - we might even read things we disagree with!

Book: The Socialist Challenge Today By Leo Panitch and Sam Gindin - Buy it here
About the book: Great overview and comparison of democratic socialist movements of Bernie Sanders, Jeremy Corbyn, and Syrza in Greece, and the specific challenges they face in implementing a progressive agenda. It phrases an important question for any progressive movement: how do we win power, not just government? How do we make radical change in a slow-moving bureaucracy, while keeping up living standards and maintaining grassroots democracy?
Accessibility: There is one small step into the venue, and two ground floor bathrooms. Please flag any extra accessibility needs in your RSVP form and we'll figure it all out!
Public Transport: Route 11 & 86 Trams, and the 200 & 207 bus both drop very close to the venue.
In-person only: This is currently only an in-person event. If you'd like to participate in or facilitate an online version of the book club, please email jon.kowski@vic.greens.org.au
