Freedom Fellowship Summer Leadership Institute!

July brought the Summer Leadership Institute!  Twenty-four Freedom Fellows gathered Monday through Friday for four weeks, where they studied movement history, community organizing strategies, and systems of power and oppression. They went on an overnight healing retreat in the woods and practiced wellness through team games, mediation, and community circles.  This powerful group of young folks will be coming back weekly this fall to engage in campaign work related to the #CopsOutCPS and Final Five campaigns.
