This week's calls to action include the following events and activities. (All are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.)

Book talk

The Moving Beyond Racism Book Group will meet at 7 p.m. on Monday, January 6, to discuss "1491." The book by Charles Mann examines science, history, and archeology and provides a radically different view of the Americas prior to Columbus's landing. The group meets at Barnes and Noble in Pittsford Plaza.
