Welcome to COMM-ORG

COMM-ORG attempts to bring together theory and practice, and academics and organizers, to advance the craft of community organizing. Toward that goal we have a papers collection, a syllabi collection, and links to resources supporting community organizing. As new materials get posted you will hear about them on both the e-mail list and on this home page.

The first paper of 2011 is now available: Rebecca Paradiso and Kate MacCrimmon's So What's This Research Stuff All About? Rebecca and Kate have looked at the practice of community-based research, or CBR, and considered it's applicability to the craft of community organizing. The paper contains their thoughts. You can access the paper via the COMM-ORG papers collection page.

It's a new COMM-ORG server

Submitted by randystoecker on Thu, 07/07/2011 - 20:57

Hi COMM-ORG,

We are now on new fancy hardware, sharing space with some other projects in a new "virtual server" environment. It provides better backup and doesn't risk crashing at any moment (like the ancient hardware I was using). Of course, that doesn't mean it won't crash, just that if it does it is better protected and more easily restored.
