Chicago is the home of modern community organizing. It’s happening here and all over the world – witness the uprisings in The Middle East. But what – exactly – is community organizing? This is an introduction to this calling and cause. “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will” said Frederick Douglass. The presenter is Tom Tresser, one of the organizers of No Games Chicago. There will be two 45 minute sessions at the Wicker Park Arts Center, 2219 W. North Avenue. Register for the 12:30pm session here and for the 1:45pm session here.
This was an excellent Learn It where I was enabled to appreciate the life cycle of a Social Organizational movement. I really got my arms around the breadth of the key elements necessary to affect lasting change in my lifetime. This all was made possible by of CommuniTeach and our innovative CommuniTeacher and Social Momentum Architect Tom Tresser.
-Since it takes a village to raise a child….
-It will take gratitude, to raise humanity
Thanks Tom!
