Building Powerful Community Organizations

Ninety percent of people join a group because a person asked them. A few join groups after reading a flyer or newspaper ad. Very few, but often highly motivated, people go looking for groups to join. Most people join because someone they know asks them. Face-to-face, eyeball-to-eyeball. This is an important finding. If you want people to join your group, you have to ask them, in person. This is what works. Person-to-person. One-on-one.

Saul Alinsky

As long as you feel powerless and unable to do anything about [your problems], all you have is a bad scene. The people resign themselves to a rationalization: it’s that kind of world; it’s a crumby world; we didn’t ask to come into it but we are stuck with it and all we can do is hope that something happens somewhere, somehow, sometime.

This is what is usually taken as apathy.

Mike Miller, Organise Training Centre

Organising does two central things to rectify the problem of power imbalance. It builds a permanent base of people power so that dominant financial and institutional power can be challenged and held accountable to values of greater social, environmental and economic justice. And it transforms individuals and communities, making them mutually respectful co-creators of public life, rather than passive objects of decisions made by others.
