Hi,
Thanks to all who sent me URLs for community organizing tools! I spent one
whole day surfing and it felt a little like "the lost week-end". There is
so much information out there and it is difficult to stay focused. Luckily
I was working at home that day and way able to spend 6 hours surfing. How
do people manage when they are at work and want to find something?
Anyway, I have lots of links to fill in my links pages, but I did not find
what I was looking for in terms of a resource to put into people hands to
organize an anti-poverty group of poor people in their communities. I will
keep working on this and keep people informed.
I am wondering if people can answer another question for me? Do any of
your organizations support anti-poverty groups in terms of meeting space,
money for refreshments, childcare and transportation? Would you be willing
to if you were approached by a group?
Again thanks to all that sent information!

Subject: Community Organizing Tools
Hi all,
I am hoping the recent list magic can work for me.
I have recently put up a new section on the web for the Workfare Watch
Project (Ontario) titled Tools for Community Organizing and Action
Research.
http://www.welfarewatch.toronto.on.ca/toolkit/
These tools were developed by grassroots people for welfare recipients to
be able to organize groups of recipients in their communities.
I have been looking for other resources on-line to direct people to. I am
having trouble finding any that are relevant.
I found a wonderful resource at:
http://ctb.lsi.ukans.edu/graphics/
But it just does not fit, it is more for funded groups who want to help
people.
Maybe I am looking in the wrong places and people on the list could direct
me in the right direction.
Also I am wondering about resources for grass-roots research, again maybe
people can direct me in the right direction.
As a final question to people, what is the state of anti-poverty organizing
in your community of welfare recipients?
Thanks in advance for any help with this!
