Creative Community Organizing
A Strategy Manual for Rabble-Rousers, Activists, and Quiet Lovers of Justice
by Si Kahn

This latest work by legendary activist, musician and author Si Kahn, is a different kind of community organizing book. As with other books, including some by Kahn himself, it does outline many of the practical tactics organizers use. But it’s also about community organizing as a way of thinking and a way of life.

Creative Community Organizing suggests ways that readers can identify and analyze the various options for action, weigh the positives and negatives and make choices among them. In other words, focus on the end goal and then determine the best strategies, tactics, and methods to achieve that goal. It will help established community organizers become more creative and innovative, encourage them to question established principles and decide whether or not they still work. Those new to the field will discover a whole new way of looking at the world—they’ll gain a new sense of empowerment, understand that things don’t have to be the way they are, that the world can be more fair and humane—and that they can live and work in ways that help make that happen.
