Work People's College

Please check back frequently for updates. New classes will be offered in Fall 2007. [last update to this page 11 June 2007]

The Work People's College (WPC) has been reformed as a free educational project of the Twin Cities General Membership Branch. 

The WPC offers free education to all workers. We offer classes that are both theoretical and practical, with the intent to arm ourselves, the working class, with better and better tools for our collective struggle against the employing class.

The WPC continues the legacy of working-class education for emancipation carried out by the Duluth, MN IWW in the first part of the 20th Century.
