This year, we’re keeping things simple with just one ticket for the whole season: The $30 ticket gives you access to all four 2021 lectures. (In previous years, tickets to each lecture cost $40, totaling $120 for all three lectures.) Please note, our first lecture with Dolores Huerta & Luis Valdez will be free and fully accessible to the community. Lecture subscribers do not need to sign up separately for this event. 

With the purchase of the $30, full-access ticket, you’ll receive a private viewing link that allows you to join us for each virtual lecture. You’ll also receive access to recordings of each event to watch at your convenience through April 30, 2021.

Ticket holders will receive advance emails from POST with full lecture access details and additional resources to help you prepare to fully enjoy and engage with each speaker.
