Activists in Residence

The heart of ATN rests on the network’s Activists in Residence (AiR) and the sites in which those AiRs organize. We are no longer accepting applications to be considered for the 2021 AiR cohort. We will be recruiting the second wave of AiRs in 2022. Please stay tuned to this site and social media to learn more about the first wave of AiRs and to apply to become an AiR for the second wave.
