The mission of Detroit Disability Power’s book club, 'You Can’t Put Us Down!', is to create a space for DDP members to connect over literature and shared interests in the realms of advocacy, networking, and disability pride. With support from the Michigan Braille and Talking Book Library (MBTBL), this book club will commit to and model a high level of accessibility for participants with any and all disabilities. 

 

What to expect from You Can’t Put Us Down!

​

• A space that prioritizes the involvement and leadership of people with disabilities, and also fully welcomes caregivers and non-disabled allies.

• Lively discussion and an invitation to participate in every aspect of the book club planning, from selecting books to facilitating the dialogue.

• A focus on books in the genres of nonfiction, personal development, memoirs, and social justice literature.

• Through the MBTBL, qualifying Michigan residents will have access to free Braille and/or audiobooks by mail or electronic downloads. 

• This book club will meet virtually on Zoom until the foreseeable future, pending the completion of DDP’s new office space (estimated to be completed in September of 2022)
