We are asking those of us who believe in the Encampment’s work to make a commitment to keep the EFC’s work available to today’s youth.
A long-term commitment (monthly or annual) makes a real difference in our ability to develop programming that provides the kind of support young activists need to be effective leaders. If enough of us make that commitment, we have a pool that creates stability that can grow the organization. The online form offers some options for sustainable giving.

2024 Encampment: Civil and Voting Rights in Montgomery Alabama
The 2024 Encampment (July 2–23) will be in Montgomery, Alabama, focused on civil and voting rights. We will engage with the community of Montgomery to learn about the struggle for fair housing, equity in education, clean water access, voting rights, and resistance to Jim Crow. With help from our guest experts, museums, and community organizers, we will analyze strategies from the Civil Rights Movement and discuss how we can find inspiration to battle the current attack on civil rights. As always, we will also examine the role of culture in social justice movements.To apply: http://tinyurl.com/2024EFCapply
