I decided to begin studies in August with the University of the Poor‘s new Cadre School! The mission of the University of the Poor is to unite and develop leaders committed to the unity of the poor and dispossessed across color lines and other lines of division so as to build a broad-based and powerful movement to end poverty. Within this activity, the University of the Poor strives to lay the basic foundation for a network of revolutionaries.
All that I have learned about politics to date has come through my own observation and hands on work (working on campaigns, doing movement work, etc.). What I have felt I have been lacking is in historical knowledge, and being able to discuss broader strategic goals (and how to accomplish them). I am excited for the opportunity to learn about revolutionary politics with a group of fellow radicals (I also work better with accountability to a group)!
