Mbongi

Introducing MBONGI STUDY AND STRUGGLE - our latest political education program. This program is a combination of Emergent Strategy and SNCC organizing practice. Alumni will expand their knowledge about maroons and how we apply marronage principles and practices to our organizing today. Additionally, you'll be able to give and receive peer support on emergent challenges in your leadership path. All sessions will be conducted online, except for April. 

30 Days of Practice

30 DAYS OF PRACTICE (30 DoP) is our month-long recommitment to daily practice to serve our commitments. 30 DoP will take place online, weekly, Monday - Thursday in April.

Black August

In BLACK AUGUST we take a month to commemorate the sacrifices of Black political prisoners and those fallen from state violence for their political organizing.

Adopted in 2017, we fast, study, train, and fight for our healing, transformation, and liberation during the month of resistance.
