The application process is now open for our weeklong, in-person Community Organizing and Popular Education Institute. ​​Based on Movement Matters' unique field-developed curriculum and nationally recognized training and facilitation style, the Organizing Institute provides an instructive, challenging learning and action space that deepens participants' vision, skills, and capacity. 

“The art, healing and emotional processing in this Organizing Institute was life-giving. This on top of all the concrete skills, tactics and activities I'm taking back. I believe the relationships we built among organizers will make all of our base building and campaign work stronger and more joyful.​”

There will be additional 2.5 hour virtual pre-Institute and post-Institute Learning and Action Circles (LACs) to ensure the learning and integration of the materials. MM's training approach is also grounded in somatics, expressive arts, story-sharing, and ritual practices that engage participants' bodies and minds so that they can more fully experience the training content.
