How can a community with limited resources create change? Learn how communities can organize to turn their resources into power for change in our Orientation to Organizing on July 9th 10am US Eastern Time! We will delve into the organizing and public narrative practices developed by Marshall Ganz at the Harvard Kennedy School and his associates with examples from the ground. For this session, we are partnering with Mike Perry and Amrit Parhar from the Institute of Change Leaders (ICL) in Canada. When Mike’s community in a small rural town was devastated by the loss of loved ones in nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic, seniors, their families, and concerned citizens came together to take action to change the broken system of long-term care.

The SSS workshop, which stands for Story, Strategy, Structure, is a workshop model designed for a specific core team in their journey to lead a campaign to address an urgent challenge their community is facing. Long-standing groups find the workshop to be a critical opportunity to revitalize their narrative and strategy, giving them the space to reflect, renarrate, and strategize. For emerging groups, the workshop is a way to build their campaign roadmap, to reach a collective vision and a real campaign strategy and timeline. In February this year, LCN embarked on a journey to Uganda with our long-term partner organization International Justice Mission to support a remarkable group of women in their endeavor to initiate a campaign. Through the SSS workshop model, the core team of 12 women developed their roadmap for a powerful campaign to pursue justice and accountability with women impacted by Intimate Partner Violence. Now
