Community Organization

Community organizing is a process by which citizens in their local neighborhoods articulate issues, form community organizations, and identify targets of injustice. Community organizations carry out strategies and tactics to bring targets to the bargaining table and jointly develop solutions to community problems to make neighborhoods safe and humane social environments over the long term.

 

Subtopics covered are the followings:
