Alinsky's Community Organizing

Alinsky’s Community Organizing is a strategy that empowers local residents to identify common issues and work together to create change. It emphasizes building grassroots leadership, fostering dialogue, and using collective action to influence policies or address problems. The approach involves understanding the community’s strengths, creating trust, and mobilizing people's energy to advocate for their interests effectively. By engaging community members directly, Alinsky aimed to transform social dynamics from within, making them more equitable and responsive to the needs of those most affected.
