Mass Education
Through our mass education programs, we regularly organize open educative sessions and events that empower our members and participants with knowledge about their fundamental rights.
Through this members continuously share their views about the status quo, the mandate of the duty bearers, the mandate of the people and their role in protecting and promoting their rights and freedoms.
Our mass education events and sessions present an opportunity to explore the various windows through which ordinary people can fight for their rights both locally and internationally. Our education events are open to all progressive individuals or groups of individuals at no cost.
Capacity Building
We prioritize continuous acquisition of knowledge and political development of the individual members. Through our capacity building program, we nurture the movement leadership, and enhance members’ abilities towards organizing to fulfil the movement goals, mission and vision as a whole.
We run capacity building programs for movement leaders, community members, and volunteers through internal arrangements and knowledge exchange programs. We welcome you to collaborate with us in this program.

Freedom Movement Uganda runs nonviolent campaigns to amplify its grievance and demand for redress from the duty bearers. Through nonviolent resistance, we demand accountability and systems change in defense and advancement of our rights, social justice and freedom.

Preceding this, is our campaign against the police brutality, our campaign continues to not only highlight the plight of the victims but also amplify the voice for justice and accountability.
