Trainings

Please find below a list of many of the trainings that the Progressive Technology Project has conducted over the years. Each training contains links to materials used in the trainings.

Since 2020 and the start of COVID19, we at PTP have been missing seeing all of you at our in-person Powerbase Trainings. We hope to begin offering these in-person trainings again soon, but in the meantime will still be holding our popular training topics through our Powerbase Live! ONLINE Training Series.

Please see descriptions of all the upcoming sessions below, and be on the lookout for email announcements as each session is scheduled!

It destroyed movements, relationships, and activists' lives. It destroyed the trust and hopefulness needed to build and sustain a movement. It destroyed the movement for justice in this country.

We haven't seen anything like it since then.
