Political Education Working Group

The Political Education Working Group organizes meetings and educational series to build a shared political consciousness and organizing skills among its members. We have monthly meetings where we read together and discuss our ongoing, in-person initiatives. If you have an interest in theory, practice, learning, facilitating, teaching, or mutually discovering our path to ending our own oppression, come join!

We also manage our chapter publication, Garnet Oak. If you like to write, edit, or do graphic design, we’d love your help!
