What can we do when inequitable systems and power serve some but harm many?
We can collaborate!
This innovative training, consisting of 8 weekly 90-minute virtual sessions followed by 2 immersive in-person days, will explore how community organizers collaborate with movement lawyers to break historic patterns of discrimination and build equitable grassroots power. This program is for organizers, lawyers, and other community leaders eager to learn from each other and will be led by expert facilitators well-versed in organizing and movement lawyering.
