Your financial contribution towards this project will enable us to pay speakers and support other backend costs. Access, as always, is a priority, and we will not turn away anyone because kicking in is a burden. **What is this series’ political orientation in regards to [insert specific thing here]?** Learn, To Do is about specific skills and broad frameworks, with an aim of strengthening the movements fighting back against the authoritarian regime in the U.S., and its interrelated harms. Many of these learnings can be applied to other situations and contexts, but the political core over here at Life is a Sacred Text is that we strive to build a world in which every human being’s rights and dignity are honored, and in which they can thrive, and we know that all of our fates are intertwined. Collective liberation or bust. Everything else is commentary. **Anything else I need to know?** When you register for events, you’ll also get biweekly infusions of liberatory fortification from [Life is a Sacred Text](https://www.lifeisasacredtext.com/) and regular updates on the power building work that [EducateUS](https://www.educateusaction.org/) does. Like a swag bag for your mind and heart.
