a six-week hybrid course for organizers, visionaries, and all who are committed to struggle to build a new world. Through bi-weekly classroom sessions, discussion, and developing a practice of revolutionary study, participants will strengthen their methodology to analyze the past and present, build capacity for organized struggle by studying examples of revolutionary processes around the world, and clarify a collective vision for the future. It’s a chance to meet new friends and comrades, exchange, study, discuss, and put theory into practice!
