The FDLTCC Action Club hopes to foster meaningful social change through education and advocacy, creating welcoming spaces for everyone to learn about social political struggles and oppression, as it is interwoven in our lives today and in historical context. This club aims to build communal resistance to imperialist societal structures and increasingly fascistic proceedings across our nation. Through connecting with students and faculty to organize support systems and sentiments of solidarity for our vulnerable relatives and working with local organizations who are creating motion towards progressive social justice, we are centered on sustaining an active and caring community on campus.

Please join us Mondays at 11:45am – 12:30pm in the FDLTCC Ojibwe Resource Center.

Testimonials

My favorite thing about FDLTCC is the people. I’ve met fantastic students, faculty and staff who go above and beyond what I expected.

It is awesome here at the FDLTCC Education Program because it is like a family here, if you need help or are struggling with anything, you have quite a few people who will help you out.

I chose FDLTCC because of its size and the curriculum. When I first came here in 2019, I was just looking for what I needed to volunteer, perhaps in a crisis shelter. I met with Don Jarvinen, and the rest is history.
