Why Focus on Community?
“ Even if one has experienced empowering cognitive and behavioral changes, it is difficult to argue that one is empowered as long as those personal and interpersonal changes have no impact on socially unjust situations which affect one’s life.” (Margot Breton)

contextual factors
Community is the most immediate
day-to-day context most people face
