The people’s university — education for liberation

Have you ever wished for a free school for organizers and activists, to open doors to a world that people in power prefer remain closed? A place to learn a few skills to help change this damaged world and have powerful discussions about what changes are worth making?

The People’s University formed out of exactly that desire! Louisville Political Education for Liberation, a group that emerged from the 2020 racial uprisings, and UrbanSpirit, a poverty education center born in 2001, have joined forces to become The People’s University, and now we’re partnering with progressive churches and colleges to offer short courses and reading groups on activism, empire, sabbath, racism, economics, politics both global and local, and sustainability for a better world.

Best of all, all our courses are absolutely free and we’ll even provide the course material! So, if you can free up an evening a week for a few weeks, see what we have to offer. Find news of upcoming courses here.

And if you’d care to make a donation to this new thing, you can find ways to do that by clicking the “donate” button at the bottom of any page.

We hope to welcome you soon!
