The second FIRST SATURDAY - 2nd July, 6.00-7.30pm

Given the inspirational beginnings of our first FIRST SATURDAY social at Books for Amnesty on 4th June, the agenda is now set for lively topical discourse at our next gathering.

We're keenly focused on creating our list of '50 Books for 50 Years of Revolution' - the draft is underway for more detailed discussion and development.

With your help, we aim to create a compelling 'top 50' list of titles which reflect the hope inherent in revolutionary movements and the impact on Human Rights; evocative of the Arab Spring and this time of great change and expectation.

The list will be used to celebrate
Human Rights Day on 10th December this year, to promote Books for Amnesty and marry the literary and campaigning spirit of the Hammersmith shop.

Everyone's welcome to come along with book suggestions and agenda ideas on topics and issues relevant to the climate of insurgence, its impact on Human Rights and bearing on revolutionary literature.

From the book shop, we're likely to decamp to Hammersmith's Lyric cafe/bar for drinks and continued conversation.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday 2nd July, from 6pm at Books for Amnesty, 139b King Street, Hammersmith, London W6 9JG.
