We discuss the basics of organizing and the fruits of that work. Michael reminds us that “organizers organize organizations.”

 

Michael’s civic action toolkit recommendations are: 

1) Gather 4-5 friends to talk about what’s happening

2) Share ideas on what you can do to resist 

 

Michael Ansara is a seasoned community organizer and the author of The Hard Work of Hope: A Memoir.
