Testimonials

Miles Horton, Highlander Centre

We have found that a very effective way to help students to understand the present social order is to throw them into conflict situations where the real nature of our society is projected in all its ugliness.

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.

Heaney, 2000

Social change references a redistribution of power and wealth favouring the disenfranchised and poorer classes and tending toward political and economic democracy. Social change aims at a shift in the relative position of classes, not in the position of individuals within one or another class.

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.
