On Community Organizing

September 7, 2008

I don’t want to appropriate the concept of community organizing, but I will step up today and say loudly and proudly that community organizing is a very, very good thing. But community organizing is NOT what either of the major political parties do. How dare the Republicans use this dog whistle to encourage racists to vote for them! And how dare the Democrats act as though their well-funded, well-oiled machine is grassroots community organizing.

(I will vote and I will probably vote for Obama, but that’s much more a vote against McCain than for Obama. Just saying.)

    Politicians do need to be educated.
    I think the organizers of today’s blogging effort should be applauded for getting the word out about this Blogging Day For Justice! I am honored to join the ranks of other Community workers to let our voice be heard! I am proud to be a Community Worker and Community Organizer!
    Blessings!
