The Expanding Connection Book Club has selected Trash: A Poor White Journey by Cedar Monroe as its next read. The group will discuss the book via Zoom on Tuesday, April 21, at 7:30 PM EST.

In Trash, activist and chaplain Cedar Monroe writes indelibly about and for poor white people: about unlearning the American dream, untangling from white supremacy, and working for liberation alongside other poor folks. Monroe shares a glimpse of a small town in Washington state that was once home to an industry that provided lumber for the nation, but is now crumbling with desperation, government neglect, and its own racism, with one of the largest homeless encampments.
