Attend the WV Freedom School!

West Virginia Citizen Action Group is co-sponsoring the American Friends Service Committee’s (AFSC) WV Freedom School, a three-day intensive workshop where young people ages 14-22 will learn about the history of race and racism in our country. Those attending will also learn how to do a power analysis of their community to understand how and why racism and racial inequality persist today. Most importantly, attendees will leave knowing how to organize in their school or community to help build and lead the movement in West Virginia.
