How many of you are some kind of community organizer?

[crispini]

I'm interested to find out how many of you do some kind of work -- paid or volunteer -- that could be construed as community organization. Please, share your stories and how you participate. Thanks!

1. Other: I'm a Mom and

organized a bunch of new voters to vote.

I volunteer for local and national campaigns, ie. phone banking, meetings, etc.

I'm not a community organizer in the sense you are talking about.

I just talk to people, in person, on the net, on the phone. ;)

5. LOL or 'The Nag" !

3. I think that's what I'm talking about!

I think that should definitely be included in the broader sense of community organization. :hi:

Edit - although I have no idea what to call it, maybe "the glue" would be a good title, haha.

4. I am a worker bee

Stuffing envelopes? Knocking on doors? Database entry? Writing press releases? Call me.

Sitting in a room with 30 other people for months on end, and chattering away about what we might do here and might do there - oh my god no. All hail to those who can do it.

7. There lots of political groups other than the Democratic Party,

like Progressive Democrats of America.

8. Other: I make media (as a volunteer) for community non-profits

To help them get their messages out. Seizing the tools!

Here is our latest project:

9. I don't know if this is considered "community organization:...

but I am in charge of our church's "Religious Liberty" affairs...we are firm supporters of Church/State separation, and view the involvemnt of religion with government as dangerous to the freedom of both.

10. Active on three campaigns at one time (this past

election), the rest of the time I do anything for the Democrats - registering voters, fair duty, show up at meetings, promote democratic views.
