In conversations, we spend a lot of time on the surface, arguing about facts and opinions we’ve heard online , but never really understand the underlying emotional conflicts that drive our beliefs and the beliefs of others. Join us to learn more about identifying core underlying conflicts, and how to approach processing those conflicts by focusing on the things we’ve actually experienced rather than what we’ve heard on the news.

This session will be offered twice - please choose the date/time that works best for you.

Join us for a dynamic and unapologetic deep dive into the roots and impact of African enslavement—told through the lens of African people themselves. This experience will trace the development of slavery in the Western Hemisphere, with a focus on the United States, while centering Africa’s resistance and the enduring struggle for freedom, self-determination, and the dismantling of colonial slave economies.

Something is urgently missing from our ability to talk to each other. The more critical the topic, the less possible it feels to communicate about it. If that's true for you, join the New Conversation Institute and its sibling organization the New Conversation Initiative in the next evolution of the Deep Canvass Institute training program to identify the conversations you want to have. We'll ground you in the conversation principles that gave rise to deep canvassing and how you can leverage those foundational skills across a range of conversations including recruitment, activation, listening, and deep canvass persuasion.

The Movement Incubator Program at People's Justice Project focus on helping participating organizations build themselves powerfully and sustainably. Designed in collaboration with partner organizations, and based on their organizational needs, it includes trainings on key topics related to building strong community-based organizations.

This first training session is focused on FUNDRAISING! -- primarily fundraising from individual and small business donors.

Join People’s Justice Project for a free training on organizing and power, where you’ll learn about how to engage our communities in organizing for justice.

No experience needed—just a commitment to building power for our people.

How did we get here? Questions on Authoritarianism.

Across the world — and right here at home — we’re seeing the rise of systems that silence dissent, limit freedoms, and concentrate power in the hands of a few. But how did we get here, and what can we do about it?

Join the People’s Justice Project for our next Black AF Study Group as we explore the roots of authoritarianism and its manifestations in our daily lives. Together, we’ll explore the ways Black communities have resisted control and built collective power — even in the face of oppression.

This is a space for learning, dialogue, and connection. Whether you’re a longtime organizer or just beginning to explore these ideas, you are welcome here.

Voting is one of the most powerful tools we have to shape our communities and demand the change we deserve. Our people have always known that self-determination is the key to freedom. And we must advance our agenda for freedom by using all the tools at our disposal, including the ballot box, to increase our power. It’s more important than ever that our people are registered, informed, and ready to vote.

Join People’s Justice Project for a free, dynamic, in-person event, where you’ll learn how to have impactful conversations and engage our communities around the importance of voting. After the training, we’ll head out into the neighborhood together to register voters and help increase connections in the community.

Lunch will be provided. No experience needed—just a commitment to building power for our people.

At this event, you can expect to learn:

• How we can engage with apathetic potential voters

• Canvassing Best Practices and Roleplay

• Voter Registration Best Practices

You will also have the opportunity to build community with organizations from around the state and the region!

Co-sponsors include: Black Voters Matter, Columbus Stand-up, Rewriting the Narrative, Showing Up for Racial Justice - Central Ohio Chapter, Ohio Women's Alliance.

The latest budget cuts from the Trump Administration will have devastating consequences for Black and Brown communities—widening wage gaps, worsening food insecurity, increasing evictions, and restricting access to healthcare.  Cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and housing assistance will only deepen these crises.

Join us for a statewide teach-in to discuss these policies, understand their impact, and strategize how we can organize and fight back. Our communities cannot afford these cuts—now is the time to take action.

In this study group, we will be exploring why Slavery was imperative for the development of Capitalism. This session will be held in-person and virtually.

Virtual event details available after registration.
