I am very pleased to announce the availability of a new COMM-ORG paper by Eva Gold and Elaine Simon, with Chris Brown:

Successful Community Orcganizing for School Reform

With public education in the United States under continuing attack, models of organizing to protect and restore public schools are sorely needed. The paper by Eva, Elaine, and Chris provides a careful look at the lessons being learned in that struggle.

You can find the paper at the COMM-ORG “Papers” page, in the 2003 papers section:

I hope that the paper inspires some discussion. Authors contribute papers to COMM-ORG in the hopes of getting comments, so please feel welcomed to contact the authors directly or discuss their paper through the list.

Thanks so much to Eva, Elaine, and Chris for contributing their work. And thanks to the Cross City Campaign for Urban School Reform for allowing us to produce a web version of the paper.
