Community organizing is a process where people in a community come together as an organization to act in their shared self-interest. It assumes that social change requires conflict and struggle to generate power for marginalized groups. The goal is to build durable power for the community organization to influence key decisions over time. Effective community organizing involves democratic participation in selecting issues and demands, rather than relying on confrontation alone. It aims to empower communities and improve lives for current and future generations. The process generally involves a non-profit identifying issues, developing strategies and leadership, mobilizing support, and launching campaigns. It follows steps like studying the community, identifying issues, forming a core group, taking action, and establishing a formal community-based organization.

1. COMMUNITY ORGANIZING

2. Community Organizing
is a process where people who live in proximity to each
other come together into an organization that acts in
their shared self-interest. Unlike those who promote
more-consensual community building, community
organizing generally assume that social change
necessarily involves conflict and social struggle in order
to generate collective power for the powerless. A core
goal of community organizing is to generate durable
power for an organization representing the
community, allowing it to influence key decision-
makers on a range of issues over time.

3. Community organizing is NOT a technique for
problem solving. Those who would use simple
confrontation or mass meetings to meet their
own selfish need for power, and skip the step
of democratic involvement and control in the
selecting of issues, the crafting of demands or
the negotiating of the victory are called
demagogues. Their organizations are a hollow
sham, without the empowering aspect that
humanizes and ennobles the effort.

5. The Purpose Community
Organizing

6. The purpose of community organizing is to bring people
together to find ways to not only enhance their own lives but
also ensure that the lives of future generations do not make
the same mistakes made by previous generations. Through
organizing, the next generations are groomed to take care
of the neighborhood and become responsible stewards of
the land. A neighbourhood and community working
together, can start to expand their focus out of individualistic
survival into making life in the neighborhood more sociable
and more interesting, taking into account the needs of the
next generations. Communities can develop ways for all
generations to live and work together in the same
neighbourhoods and develop a sense of culture that can be
carried on.
