We remain ever hopeful of ever more discussion on sustainable organizing of, by, and for the grassroots.
From the website:
Our basic tack is that good organizational dynamics are vital for sustainable organizing and that cities, neighborhoods, and organizations should be of the people, by the people, and for the people. Neighborhood improvement is NOT just for the experts.
Navigation:
· is about determining, "where we are", and, "where we are going"
· is about getting from point A to point B safely and efficiently
· was once an arcane art whose tools were jealously guarded and kept secret
Today, we live in a new age and yet many of our institutions and cultural practices and attitudes are still very primitive and far behind the people they purport to "lead".
This column will be about practical nuts & bolts which make the work of sustainable organizing safer and more efficient in the work people are doing right now. This column will also be about theoretical systems design and engineering. It will attempt to gain and share many perspectives on sustainable organizing. We will always be writing from street-level, next-door, or around the corner or maybe even a few blocks away, but, still in the same neighborhood and never ever from atop the ivory tower.
Please share your thoughts on sustainable organizing, links, or column ideas.
Thank you.
