Join Si Kahn for a discussion of his new book "Creative Community Organizing: A Guide for Rabble-Rousers, Activists, and Quiet Lovers of Justice" and learn about the work of Grassroots Leadership. This latest work by the legendary activist, musician and author, 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.
