A Graduate Program for Activists


From the Alliance of Radical Academic/Intellectual Organizations:

You already know it in your bones. Real democracy is not a spectator sport. Don't you want to build a well-organized social movement that can challenge the downsizing of democracy and promote the common good? If so, check out Antioch University New England's master's program in Environmental Advocacy and Organizing--where we train students for activist careers as public interest advocates and grassroots organizers working for ecological sustainability, social justice, and democratic control of corporations.

This groundbreaking graduate program might be right for you, or it might be right for someone you know. Please help us spread the word to all your friends, colleagues, and contacts that you think might be interested. We still have some openings left for the Fall 2007 cohort of the Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program and will be
accepting applications until the end of July. Check us out at:
http://www.antiochne.edu/es/eao/default.cfm.

As Eli Pariser, the Executive Director of MoveOn.Org, says about us:

There are just too few institutions that help inspire, train, and nurture progressive activists. That's why I'm so excited about Antioch University New England's Environmental Advocacy and Organizing Program. It's a graduate program that offers in-depth activist training and even connects its graduates into an ongoing support network. I encourage everyone seeking to work as a public interest advocate or a grassroots organizer to check out Antioch's Environmental Advocacy and Organizing program.


If you like, I can send you a PDF our curriculum plan. Also, please
let me know if you have any questions.

All my best,
Steve
