Direct Action Organizing Basics

Posted by on August 01, 2011

We can’t change the weather in Philadelphia but we can change Philadelphia! Community organizing can make real change happen here.

That’s why Bread & Roses supports organizations like yours working for social justice and I am pleased to announce that Bread & Roses’ Barbara Smith Community School is hosting a workshop on the fundamentals of community organizing during the second week of August.

This is a great opportunity to learn techniques for effective organizing from experts and other leaders in community organizations around Philadelphia.

This workshop is for people interested in learning basic skill sets or people who simply want to brush-up on organizing. Space is limited so click here to sign up:

The Barbara Smith Community School offers workshops, seminars, and an annual retreat designed to improve the abilities of groups working to redistribute power and resources, especially those led by poor and working-class people; people of color; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgendered people; those with disabilities; and others working for fundamental social change.
