PEOPLE, POWER, CHANGE: Nurturing Leadership for a More Just World
We equip leaders, organizations, and movements with the tools and resources they need to grow power in their communities and win lasting change.
What is organizing
"It’s the little things citizens do. That’s what will make the difference.” — Wangari Maathai
The Three questions of organizing
The People, Power, Change framework is a tried and tested approach to organizing for justice. It builds leadership on a grassroots level and transforms a community's resources into the power they need to achieve the change they want.
People
Who are my people and what is their problem?
POWER
How can we use our resources in effective ways?
CHANGE
What is the change we seek?
