Welcome to the Learning Center: Civic and Political Action Learning for Everyone.
The Learning Center is LFJ’s online popular education space for everyone — community members, parents, educators and youth — offering learning for civic and political action to build an inclusive, multiracial democracy. When we “learn for justice,” we center learning to inform our actions for change and progress in our communities.
Come learn with us to strengthen democracy, counter hate and bias and build a more just society. Sign up for our newsletter to receive updates on our new learning resources.
