The Next System Teach-Ins to spark debate from New York to Seattle

Movement Strategy & History

From New York to Seattle, from Detroit to Santa Barbara, students, faculty, and community members are uniting to host teach-ins in their own communities. In our video, members of UW-Madison community explain why they’re hosting a teach-in and how they are collaborating to organize the weekend-long event.
