Community Organizing Handbook: Indigenous Empowerment for Justice - Paperback

by Oliver Lawrence (Author)

The Community Organizing Handbook is based on many years of direct community organizing experience and teaching college level courses. This guide has been developed to empower ordinary people, volunteers, organizers and activists. This draws on some common experiences, ideas and enables people to be better equipped to organize. This guide focuses on three issues: the organization, the people, and the sources of their power. The organizations develop from street committee to mass movement, sustainable nonprofit, and can grow to corporate standards. In the process the leadership and the policies can change the flavor of the organization itself.
