Wrap-up\n\n\nWorkshop format: Presentation interspersed with group discussion\n\nWhat is community organizing?\nOrganizing does two central things to seek to rectify the problem of power imbalance - it builds a permanent base of people power so that dominant financial and institutional power can be challenged and held accountable to values of greater social, environmental and economic justice; and, it transforms individuals and communities, making them mutually respectful co-creators of public life rather than passive objects of decisions made by others.\n-Mike Miller, Organize Training Center\n\nBasics\nLong history in many countries, not just in the USA\nCan include many types of activities\nDirect action is one type of community organizing\nDirect action organizing has roots in rights movements\n\nCommunity organization is that process by which the people...organize themselves to &#039;take charge&#039; of their situation and thus develop a sense of being a community together. It is a particularly effective tool for the poor and powerless as they determine for themselves the actions they will take to deal with the essential forces that are destroying their community and consequently causing them to be powerless.\n-Reverend Robert Linthicum, World Vision International\n\nCommunity organizing and DAO aims to:\nWin concrete improvements in people’s lives.\nMake people aware of their own power.\nAlter relations of power\n\nKey elements:\nCollective action by those directly affected.\nOnly the people affected can make change happen.\nChanging basic power relationships the only way to change conditions.\n\nUnderlying Assumptions\nGovernment needs to be accountable to the people\nPeople have the right to speak or act on social and political issues. (freedom of speech, assembly, thought etc.)\nPeople need to keep the government in check.
