SFPIRG offers a variety of workshops developed to build or deepen understandings on a variety of topics. Our standard workshops are based around anti-oppression though we can tailor workshops to focus on anti-racism, LGBTQ2S+, liberation, colonialism & anti-colonialism, harm reduction principles, radical accessibility, and other topics. Not sure if we cover a topic you’re interested in? Contact us! If we don’t offer it, we can point you in the right direction.
