Support Free Education Initiatives at the Institute

We are only able to offer free lectures, workshops, courses, vision conversations, and books clubs through your support!

• Lectures, courses, workshops, and vision conversations in the Institute for Common Power are powerful ways to uncover typically unknown aspects of history. Our in-person and virtual lectures and conversations are designed to educate and inspire! Renowned scholars, authors, and activists are featured in our lecture series.

• The banning of books is on the rise in the United States, but the Institute for Common Power stands firm in our belief in the power of books to provoke thought, challenge norms, and expand perspectives. Our banned book club explores issues of race, identity, and freedom of expression through the lens of these impactful works. In a world increasingly cautious of uncomfortable truths, we uphold the right to read freely and oppose book banning as contrary to democratic values.
