Organizing for the Homeless , by Jim Ward, Canadian Council on Social Development, Ottawa, 1989. This book is designed to act both as a resource and a stimulant to those who are interested in effectively organizing the homeless. I have thought of writing such a book for some years. It is appropriate that I did it in 1987, the United Nations International Year of Shelter for the Homeless. Much was written about the homeless in 1987, which helped raise general public awareness about the...

How should we welcome people at assemblies? How should an assembly-based, decentralized movement be organized? How can we carry out non-violent direct action? How should we negotiate with others? How can we change narratives and perceptions? How can we harness the power of the streets? Many movements answer these questions over time through trial and error, but PAH aims to contribute to the debate by reflecting on its own experiences and presenting them in this manual. We take a step back and...

This essay outlines the counterinsurgency model ("COIN" in the military jargon), with an emphasis on its domestic application, especially in the criminal justice context. The evidence shows that, despite the term's association with colonialism and Latin American "dirty wars," many contemporary counterinsurgency practices were developed by police agencies inside the United States and continue to be used against the domestic population. 37 pages

Recognizes that despite resurgent American optimism in mid-2021, after a fearful year and a half of coronavirus pandemic, the faith and hope of the people remain subdued because of existential threats to our democracy, particularly Republican-led legislative assaults on voting rights and nonpartisan electoral administration. Identifies in these developments the central role of a growing fascist oligarchy, populated by a brotherhood of billionaires. Considers the tortuous path ahead for...

Proposes that community organizing campaigns work as more powerful tools when they combine the demonstrated power of organizing with the persuasive argumentation of lobbying. Examines problematic aspects of both, including: choosing coalition partners, setting campaign priorities, targeting decision- makers, strategizing a campaign, pressuring decision-makers, preparing lobbying arguments, assembling a policy brief, motivating decision-makers, planning a traditional media campaign, misusing...

The Poll Tax and How to Fight It was the first of two pamphlets we wrote on the Poll Tax, published around October 1988. It encouraged the rise of mass revolt against the Community Charge as it was happening in Scotland, and as it was poised to be fought and beaten a year later in England and Wales as well.

During the past several years [prior to 1974], planners have become increasingly preoccupied with finding ways of including citizens in the planning process. The pressures for participation are no longer simply a reaction against the results of planning. They reflect the demand by citizens to be involved in the planning process itself and to have some control over the decisions being made. In the words of one U.S. official: "emphasis on resident participation has spilled over...

We don't really reward or allow our politicians, good or bad, to be searching, or to change their minds and grow - to admit their human frailty. So it's surprising to hear Cory Booker say that the best thing that's happened to him is \"being broken, time and time again.\" He's taken flack for talking about politics as \"manifesting love.\" He speaks with Krista about the inadequacy of tolerance, strengthening the \"muscle\" of hope, and making your bed as a...

Community organizers Rami Nashashibi and Lucas Johnson have much to teach us about using love - the most reliable muscle of human transformation - as a practical public good. Nashashibi is the founder of the Inner-City Muslim Action Network, a force for social healing on Chicago's South Side. Johnson is the newly-named executive director of The On Being Project's Civil Conversations Project. In a world of division, they say despair is not an option - and that the work of social healing requires...

Explores the failure of faith-based and other forms of community organizing to recognize the importance of integral religious faith in movement-building; the inadequacy of "self-interest" alone to sustain long-term participation in movement-building; the origins, characteristics, and effects of moral-spiritual infrastructure; and the practice implications for organizers.
