The League Program Workbook is an interactive tool for studying and introducing the Program with comrades and friends across different fronts of struggle. It is organized around Consciousness → Vision → Strategy.

Workbook purpose

The Workbook is designed for many settings: introducing people to the League, studying the Program more deeply, developing revolutionary analysis and connecting political ideas to practical struggle. Rather than moving through the Program line by line, it organizes selected passages into themes and uses questions and creative activities to prompt discussion.

Workbook organization

The full Program is followed by fifteen selected passages grouped into three sections. Consciousness asks what is happening and why. Vision asks what society should provide and what a different future can look like. Strategy asks what steps are necessary to move from present conditions toward that vision.

Each section offers several ways to engage: broad questions for exploration, creative prompts, analytical questions and key concepts that groups can define and debate together.

Facilitator tips

• Break the Workbook into multiple meetings or choose the passages most useful for a particular group.
• Use it in community organizations, union settings, classrooms, with newer activists or in League collectives.
• It works online or in person, but printed copies can be useful where internet access is uneven.
• Begin with introductions, goals and agreements for discussion.
• Use questions to draw out participants’ knowledge rather than relying on lecture.
• Evaluate the session afterward and adapt the process to the people involved.

Case studies

Houseless encampment leaders

League members in Oakland adapted selected Workbook passages for political education alongside trainings on street medicine, rights and service-provider systems. Paper workbooks, timelines, discussion, art and other methods were used to accommodate different learning styles and access needs.

University class

Members of the Revolutionary Education + Technology Collective used the Workbook in a Sociology of Hip Hop course at an HBCU. Students connected the Program’s discussion of exploitation, oppression and consciousness to their course material and to broader social analysis.

League collective

The Workbook can also be used inside League collectives to connect day-to-day organizing, political assessment and the Program’s larger framework.
