“The Left Educational Project”

Presented by Left Forum & Democracy at Work

The Left Educational Project (LEP) is a collaboration between Democracy at Work and The Left Forum. LEP aims to provide activists, academics, and the socially conscious public with first-rate education on the pressing issues of our time. The inadequacy of mainstream media, political leadership, and educational institutions across all levels stems from a shared ideological reluctance to engage in meaningful social critique. In light of today’s national and international crises—economic, ecological, political, and military—this reluctance has particularly troubling consequences for society as a whole.

LEP will offer courses on topics such as economics, healthcare, housing, the unhoused crisis, and mental disabilities-- taught by accredited university professors, renowned professionals in their fields, and seasoned activists. Our series of lectures embodies collaboration with community members, students, and teachers learning together to create a critical analysis of our shared experiences.
