About Our Programs
The Marxist Education Project (MEP) operates a unique radical adult education center with roots dating back forty-five years. Our classes, book release events, and panel discussions explore the roots of oppression and give voice to resistance and liberation. After years of in-person programs, we went online in 2020 at the advent of Covid. Our programs provide deep background on issues of class, race, gender, sexuality, and climate. We do this by teaching, reading literature together, and opening up lively, respectful debate.
