Democracy School is MIRA’s signature capacity-building program for organizers, offered as full- and half-day workshops every year in partnership with MIRA members across the Commonwealth.

The goal of Democracy School is to build organizers and advocates’ understanding of the systems we’re trying to influence – from City Hall, to the Legislature, to the federal government – and provide training on organizing and capacity-building that can be applied in the field right away.

Whether you’re a young activist just getting started or a seasoned community organizer Democracy School offers a chance to build your skills, connect with organizers and advocates in your region, and make a bigger impact together.
