Community organizing is a critical component of any effort to build or re-build community in our distressed cities. Studies show that effective community organizing efforts improve conditions detrimental to the health, wellbeing and success of those whom organizers seek to assist and enlist in the efforts. Our organizing projects center on issues of social and economic justice. We advocate for a quality education for every child, safe and clean neighborhoods, fair and effective government and human services, housing and employment as a basic human right, and respecting the dignity of every person. We work with everyone who share these concerns in order to mobilize people and resources to effect constructive change.
