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!
