Welcome back to the Stacks. This week is a book club week and we're talking about how democracies die by Stephen Levitsky and Daniel Zblad.

I'm your host Tracy Thomas and our guest this week is Activist and Organizer Harris-Cone.

I love this show so much and I'm loving making it with all of you. I'm so excited

and grateful for this amazing community that we've built and I want to give a

shout out to those of you who have joined the Stax Pack through Patreon. It helps to make the show a reality and I know

that I couldn't do it without any of you. Two of our most recent members of the Stax Pack are Joseph Papa and

Lisa Lallick. If you're not familiar with Patreon it's a platform

where our listeners pledge monthly contributions to the show in exchange for

perks and inside access and it connects you with our awesome community of readers.

So check it out and join the Stax Pack at Patreon.com slash the Stacks.

We're actually now running a virtual book club

for any Patreon member who pledges more than $3 a month.

It's really fun and it's a great way to connect with each other and talk about the books that

we're all reading. Check it out at patreon.com the Stax and Patreon is spelled P-A-T-R-E-O-N-com slash the Stax.

If you're not able to commit to monthly contributions you you can always do a one-time donation at paypal. Me slash the Stax Pod.
