Community

With all due respect to all of us with memberships in PTA (and maybe some who have been on City Councils and Mayors) but working as a community organizer in a depressed community with shut down factories ain't really a picnic. Working as a community organizer means doing all the nitty gritty work that elected officials need to be doing but without an official mandate and therefore no resources to support that work with. Organizing a community means going to the people who need help without waiting for them in air conditioned City Council meetings.
