The Learning Center

Welcome to the Learning Center: Civic and Political Action Learning for Everyone.

The Learning Center is LFJ’s online popular education space for everyone (adults, youth and children), offering learning for civic and political action to build an inclusive, multiracial democracy. It continues our Community Justice Sites programming in our Southern states and extends our resources to a national audience. When we “learn for justice,” we center learning to inform our actions for change and progress in our communities. 

Come learn with us to strengthen democracy, counter hate and bias and build a more just society. Sign up for our newsletter to receive updates on our new learning resources.
