Case study of how community organizing grew in Serbia and became an organization called Serbia on the Move.

“We were losing people in between the campaigns. You have campaign, they get excited, but when campaign is over you lose them. We needed a structure to hold them.

And between the campaigns, so people can continue their local work, building relationships locally—doing” Pedja Stojicic
