How were you radicalized? What were your turning points? How does a “normal” person lose their faith in the system? What first wakes them up to injustice? How do they move from being politically aware to becoming a political activist? And how can we encourage people on this journey? Robbie Orr, a 50-year veteran socialist, will use history and stories from his autobiographical novel to describe the arc of radicalization.

How do I propose a course or event for the Free School?
Proposals for educational events—one off workshops, reading groups, classes and seminars—that are open to the public and free of charge, and that are aligned with our mission and principles, are welcome here.

Where is the Free School located?

Most of our events take place in the classroom space in the lower floor of Red Emma's at 3128 Greenmount Avenue.

Is the Free School ADA accessible?

Yes! The ADA accessible entrance is located at the back of Red Emma’s, facing Brentwood Ave. There is an ADA-accessible ramp leading into the Free School, as well as an ADA-accessible bathroom.

How is the Free School funded?

We currently receive funding from a variety of sources, including individual donations, grants, and our monthly sustainers. We rely on donations from people like you to keep our community educational events free—you can support us via the Red Emma's Education fund with a tax-deductible donation.
