Welcome

Welcome to the Activist Academy! This online learning environment is designed to help you learn about activism at your own pace. In this introductory course, we will explore the motivations behind activism and share personal stories of activists.

We will also introduce four different ways of being an activist based on the theory developed by Bill Moyer and provide you with 198 ideas for taking action.

But first let me share my own story as an activist for the past 20 years.

My biggest lessons

• Broad coalitions using a diversity of tactics can build strategies to win.
• Sustainable and healthy movements are better equipped to face challenges and violence.
• Fighting with the people instead of for them leads to greater impact.

Whether you are passionate about climate change, racism, or any other cause, the Activist Academy is here to support you on your journey as an activist.
