A skills-building training for changemakers

In a rapidly shifting political landscape, changemakers need to be equipped to interpret the law and influence policy. Legal knowledge isn’t just technical — it’s transformational. We’ve seen firsthand how the ability to find, read, and understand the law empowers practitioners to drive meaningful, lasting change.
