Black August: A Revolutionary Teach-In 2026

Stop waiting for revolution. You're already in it. Join us for a day of learning, imagining, and building liberation together.
About this Event

What becomes possible when we stop waiting for revolution and realize we are already a part of one?

Join Blackbird Revolt for A Revolutionary Teach-In, a one-day Black August gathering bringing together organizers, creatives, educators, community members, and changemakers from across the Twin Cities to reclaim our narratives, deepen our radical imagination, and strengthen the collective power needed to build the future we deserve.

Through workshops, shared meals, and community dialogue, we'll explore what it means to create a people-centered revolution rooted in care, justice, and collective liberation. Together, we'll challenge one another, dream boldly, and leave with tangible ways to participate in building a more equitable world.

As a thank you for supporting our work year-round, all Blackbird Revolt Patreon members, both free and paid subscribers, are eligible for reduced pricing on tickets to A Revolutionary Teach-In.
