Principles in
Community Organizing
People move on the basis of self interest
People move from simple, concrete and
short term issues to more complex, abstract
and long term issues overtime.
Let the people make their own decisions
The goal of organizing is to develop a self-
sustaining organization rather than resolve
specific temporary issues.
