Registration is now open for Lessons of Liberation 2026: Freedom Is a Constant Struggle—a multi-week learning series rooted in Freedom Is a Constant Struggle by Angela Davis and guided by conversation with grassroots organizers, faith-rooted leaders, and movement educators connected to Episcopal City Mission.
Gather with us every Monday from March 2–April 6 for facilitated discussion of selected chapters and dialogue with multiple guest speakers, including:
Rev. Dr. Nikia Smith, Abolition Sanctuary
Virginia Cuell, The Black Response Cambridge
Khalil Howe, Youth Justice & Power Union
Dr. James McCarty, BU School of Theology and the Tom Porter Center for Religion and Conflict Transformation
Together, we will explore freedom not as a fixed destination, but as an ongoing collective struggle shaped by resistance, care, imagination, and solidarity. Each session connects Davis’ analysis of racism, incarceration, policing, economic inequality, and state violence to local, community-based responses and abolitionist practice.
This series is accessible to people of all spiritual and social identities. While faith-rooted reflection will be present, the focus is on practical learning, shared analysis, and movement wisdom from those directly engaged in organizing and repair.
Participants will need to purchase their own copy of the book and read assigned chapters in advance of each session.
Registration is required. You can register at this link:
