Advocacy & Organizing

"I loved getting practical, tangible tools that I feel I can carry into my work. I can very easily see myself using the tools [they] taught us."                                                                                                                                                                                           - 2011 Participant

During Fall 2024 and 2025, we focused on popular education in learning from many movements recent efforts and building power organizers seek to ready themselves for future action. Skill-building moments will combine with intimate speaker stories and questions and a chance to workshop ideas you bring. 

To be part of planning or get involved right away in a program offering, email advocacyhousing@pbha.org or sdc@pbha.org  for PBHA-specific programs and advocacyhousing@pbha.org , communityorganizing@pbha.org , and vghosh@fas.harvard.edu  for wider local community efforts. 

The Advocacy and Organizing workshop series is five-sessions facilitated by professional organizers from community partners and alumni, who introduce leaders to core theories, strategies and tools for being an effective community organizer on campus and off-campus. Whatever issues you are passionate about, these are the tools to understand and effectively contribute to a movement for social change. The group also builds relational bonds for cross-issue support and alliance. Contact Sona at sdc@pbha.org if you have any questions.
