Sorting Soup: A Book Club for Resistance & Resilience-
Feeling overwhelmed by the scale of what we’re facing? You’re not alone. That’s why Sorting Soup has evolved into a space where we do more than just talk about the news—we read the blueprints, name the patterns, and build the knowledge we need to resist authoritarianism with clarity and purpose. We’re currently a dedicated book club diving deep into two essential guides for this moment: Randy Allen Walker’s Project 2025 Survival Guide, and for balance Stewart “Brittlestar” Reynolds’ Lessons from Cats for Surviving Fascism. These aren’t just books—they’re survival manuals, organizing tools, and invitations to understand exactly what’s being built around us so we can dismantle it together.

Every Thursday at 5PM & Sunday @4PM Central, we gather on Zoom to read aloud, process collectively, and connect the dots between policy, history, and our lived realities. Each session begins with a brief check-in where we see who’s in the room and what’s on our hearts, then we dive straight into the text—whether it’s dissecting a chapter of Project 2025’s attack on civil rights or learning tactical lessons from feline resistance strategies. We read together, we react honestly, and we make space for both grief and action. No one has to carry this alone. Whether you come to listen, to read aloud, or to ask the hard questions, your voice matters here.
We wrap each session with a Deep Dive Debrief, where we assign follow-up research, brainstorm next steps, and talk about how to bring these insights back to our own circles and communities. This isn’t about drowning in despair or performing outrage—it’s about building the political education and emotional resilience we need to keep organizing for the long haul. Sorting Soup is grounded in the spirit of the NWSOFA 9am Coffee & Conversation network: we believe that understanding is the first step to activation, and that thinking together makes us all sharper, braver, and more effective.
Sunday Seconds: Go Deeper, Catch Up, or Just Breathe
Missed Thursday? Need more time with the material? Just want to process with a smaller, quieter group? That’s what Sunday Seconds is for. Every Sunday morning, we reconvene to revisit the previous week’s reading in greater depth. We slow down, pull out the quotes that hit hardest, highlight contributions from first-time speakers, and make space for the reflections that didn’t quite fit on Thursday night. Sunday Seconds is part recap, part deeper dive, part communal exhale—a chance to sit with the text a little longer and let it shape how we move into the week ahead. Whether you’re catching up or leaning in, you’re welcome at the table.
So grab your book, your coffee, and your courage—the soup’s on, and there’s always room for one more spoon in the pot. Let’s read, resist, and rise together.
