About the course

Are you curious about the protests you may be hearing about? Are you someone who wants to change the world? In this class, we will learn all about activism in America through the lens of different movements that have been going on for years. After an initial class that will introduce us to activism, in each class we will learn about a different social movement, including the climate justice, anti-racism, disability, farmworkers, LGBTQ and women's movements. We'll hear stories about ordinary people becoming leaders, creative activism strategies, power dynamics, and the successes and challenges of movements. This class is meant to get you curious and excited about the possibilities to enact change. Remember: activism is for everybody!
