Organizing

Many people start or join community organizing projects because they feel spiritually connected or inspired. It is with these people that all of our great organizations have been created, for example, churches, mosques, or synagogues are still around today and this is where many activists envisioned their ideas. Inside a church, for instance, a priest will repeat verses from the bible and also give words of advice to the attendees. This enables any person attending to soak the information and…

Another strategy that is beneficial is ‘pace and recite’, this helps me memorize information by saying it a lot. The next strategy ‘use color in notes’ is another way of organizing that helps me be successful in having what I need to study and being able to remember certain information by associating it to the color it was written in. Lastly, the ‘study in a group’ strategy is helpful by allowing myself and others discuss…

I recall being in Zamora, Michoacan and the teacher telling us that one of our classmate father just passed away. As I just want to point out that the elementary school was on the outskirts of Zamora, and everyone knew each others family. Personally, I knew the señor Francisco Peña but knew him as Don Pancho, he was the carnicero in the area of Valenica. Thus, as I heard the news,…

Creative Community Organizing I like this book a lot more than the Rules of Radical. I felt that Kahn give me a much better insight of what community organizing really is. Books do different things including tell a story, educate, emotionally inspire or motivate to action.Si Kahn 's book Creative Community Organizing: A Guide for Rabble-Rousers, Activists, and Quiet Lovers of Justice manages to do it all. To me, on a casual level, it is a story or biography covering his…

Besides who can even participate in this process involved in a public compared to a private sector union here is how the process would actually differ. The union-organizing process works differently in the public sector compared to the private sector. The public sector has no bargaining or competitive forces. When the public negotiates involving high wages and work rules, the taxpayers pay the brunt of the prices or spend their days fighting with officials to work out a reasonable process that…
