Political Popular Education

Overview

“Critical and liberating dialogue, which presupposes action, must be carried on with the oppressed at whatever the stage of their struggle for liberation.” -Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Paulo Freire

LELO is excited to re-begin our political popular education series. The series offers LELO members political education that broadens our collective political analysis and builds leadership and organizing by encouraging action through educational empowerment.
