The poor people’s economic human rights organizing model answers the question “how do we end poverty?” The model provides a framework for how to effectively organize the poor to build the power required to change the political conditions behind poverty’s continuation. The model’s central strategy is to develop leaders from the ranks of the poor around human rights values of respect, dignity and sacred life.
I learned a lot this weekend. One thing that I learned is that there are more and more community organizers who are thinking about and moving toward more strategic, more long-term, more comprehensive, more multi-dimensional, more community-focused and more effective organizing efforts. I also learned that there are some emerging differences between approaches to radical organizing.
