Source: Sojourner Truth School for Social Change Leadership

The catalog for the Fall 2026 session of classes at the Sojourner Truth School for Social Change Leadership is hot off the press and being distributed throughout the community and online at www.truthschool.org.  As always, all classes are free and are taught on Zoom.

Registration for fall class opens on August 1. Pre-registration is required for all classes.

The Truth School teaches movement-building skills, preparing social change leaders to win movement struggles. The school is centered on the following principles:

• Amplifying the leadership of Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC); they lead all Truth School classes, or offer them in bi/multi-racial/cultural teams
• Approaching movement-building skills from a horizontal and vertical lens (breadth and depth) and creating course catalogs which reflect this range
• Relationship-building as the heart of movement-building; this informs the style of our classes, and our relationships with site partners, hosts, trainers and volunteers
• Connecting people across counties, economic standing, racial identity, physical and mental ability and gender expression

This fall, Truth School will offer 22 classes in September through December, Some classes consist of two or more sessions, allowing participants to delve deeper into topics that especially interest them. Below is a list of all Fall 2026 classes. . All classes will be on Zoom, and all class times are Eastern Time. Click/tap on class titles for more information and to register.
