I am very pleased to announce this year’s collection of papers on the COMM-ORG website ( http://comm-org.wisc.edu ):

Moshe ben Asher, Unified Community Organizing Theory

This is a very exciting paper for me.  There has been very little written trying to really think deeply theoretically about community organizing.  It’s filled with stuff to think about.

Moshe ben Asher, Relationship-Building Questions to Clergy in Congregational (Faith-Based) Community Organizing

This paper is just what it’s title says it is and shows that Moshe can also write great practical concrete stuff too.

Dominic T. Moulden and Gregory D. Squires, Equitable Development Comes to DC

It’s great to have a real story of real community organizing yielding real results.

Richard L. Wood, Brad Fulton, and Kathryn Partridge, Building Bridges, Building Power: Developments in Institution-based Community Organizing: Executive Summary

This is a taste of the next installment of some of the best research in the field of institution-based community organizing.  The paper includes a link to the full report.
