We will look at what makes a radical organizing method. To examine this, we will look at questions such as winnability, strategy.tactics, coaliions, spirituality, building a majority movement, role of political education, and the effectiveness of well known organizing methods such as 1-1's, story-telling, relationship-building. The format will be group discussion.

Facilitators: Steve Meacham, CLVU; host Rachel Beddick, CAAS

More information on the ROC Summer Institute:
Supporters of the Radical Organizing Conference (ROC) are pleased to announce the ROC Summer Institute. Since 2003, there have been four ROCs. At each one, participants have talked about how we can do our work in a way that brings about radical change (gets to the root cause of problems). In that spirit, the ROC Summer Institute will offer short courses that allow participants to think even more deeply about the "big picture: and learn new skills as they continue their practical work for justice. Please join us for one (or more!) of these exciting workshops.
