What does it look like to build powerful place-based movements capable of transforming society? How do we weave together grassroots institutions into a holistic force that can both challenge and transcend oppressive systems?

In our last session of the year, we’re wrapping up the 2025 Municipalism Learning Series with a special conversation led by organizers and educators who have first-hand experience with transformative movements around the world, from Brazil to Rojava, to Jackson, Mississippi.

While these movements differ widely in their context, scope, and tactics, they all share a general strategic framework of “dual power” — the revolutionary concept of “building a new society within the shell of the old.” Join us for an evening of learning, as we draw both lessons and inspiration from these examples.
