What is Community Organizing or Organizing Community? about?

Behind every successful social movement is a community, or a network of communities. The community behind the movement provides many things. It sustains the movement during the hard times, when the movement itself is in abeyance. It provides for the social reproduction needs of movement participants, providing things as basic as childcare so parents can participate in movement events. It provides a free space where members can practice "prefigurative politics", attempting to create on a small scale the type of world they are struggling for. These communities do not just happen. They must be organized. Someone has to build strong enough relationships between people so they can support each other through long and sometimes dangerous social change struggles. Or, if the community already exists, someone has to help transform it to support political action. Sometimes that requires reorganizing the community by identifying individuals who can move the community to action. This process of building a mobilizable community is called "community organizing." It involves "the craft" of building an enduring network of people, who identify with common ideals, and who can engage in social action
