Why can't there be enough food, shelter, jobs, health care, homes, schools, education, safety and security for everyone? How can people work together to challenge the way things are, to help redistribute wealth and power, to create a more just and humane society? The answer is creative community organizing. this latest work by legendary activist, musician and author si kahn, is a different kind of community organizing book. as with other books, including some by kahn himself, it does outline many of the practical tactics organizers use. but its also about community organizing as a way of thinking and a way of life. creative community organizing suggests ways that readers can identify and analyze the various options for action, weigh the positives and negatives and make choices among them. In other words, focus on the end goal and then determine the best strategies, tactics and methods to achieve that goal. It will help established community organizers become more creative and innovative, encourage them to question established principles and decide whether or not they still work. Those new to the field will discover a whole new way of looking at the world - theyll gain a new sense of empowerment, understand that things dont have to be the way they are, that the world can be more fair and humane and that they can live and work in ways that help make that happen.
