TEP-5000B: Grassroots Organizing for Social Justice

Most progressive social change in the U.S. has been achieved through social movements (the civil rights movement, the anti-war movement, the labor movement, the women’s movement, etc.). While strategies such as legal advocacy, social service provision, direct action mobilizing, and participation in electoral politics have all played a role in advancing progressive goals, movements anchored in grassroots organizing have been the engines driving progress toward greater equality, freedom, and democracy within the U.S. These sessions will introduce candidates to a specific social change strategy-direct action labor/community organizing. Organizing is the process by which ordinary people gain the power needed to bring about change in oppressive policies or institutions.
