Greetings all and welcome to our blog! Each week I will be posting thoughts and tips relevant to social justice, movement building and community organizing. Sometimes there will be posts about current events and others will be tips and tools for the work. Each time will be informational and (hopefully) entertaining.
The topics will serve as jump-off points for conversation, so please feel free to reply. But note, that we will be monitoring responses and retain the right to delete or not even post responses that do not move the conversation forward, are negative or attack based, or seek to move an agenda or market a good or service that is not in line with Alliance Institute’s mission and goals.
In the interest of maintaining some semblance of order, I will attempt to regularly post such that each overall topic area will fall on the same week. to that end:
- first week of the month – current event rant/insight/etc.
- second week of the month – management tip/tool
- third week of the month – organizing tip/tool
- fourth week of the month – Alliance Institute update (what we’re up to & why, how, etc) or guest blog (why not share the opportunity to “spread ignorance throughout the system,” as an education professor of mine used to say)
Well, everyone says to keep it short and to the point (I believe pithy is the term). So, that being the advice, and I being one who believes in following good advice, we shall wrap this welcome up. Come back often or better yet join our email list (hyperlink here for joining our list) as this promises to be one heckuva ride!
Thanks and Success!
