STRENGTHENING DEMOCRACY IN THE GRASSROOTS… ...THROUGH COMMUNITY ORGANIZING May 18th Asian Human Rights Folk School Aug. 19, 2008 Ms Jessica E. Amon CO Trainer Community Organizer Multiversity
Why Community Organizing? Community organizing provided the opportunity for the people to enhance knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to address issues.
Community Organizing
It is a process It is learned through an experiential process It is a method for organizing poor communities
Why do we organize people?
One of the sources of power of the poor is their number But number without change of values and attitudes is not power
What are the poor’s attitudes that make them powerless?
Tendency to run away from responsibilities Tendency to oppress fellow poor people Tendency to depend on chance or that a superpower will fight the enemy for them Tendency to put oneself down
How is community organizing done?
There are steps that have been proven to be effective in making people act on their issues. The dialogical method is used Strategies and Tactics are used to enable the poor to assert their rights.
The Basic CO Concepts:
The poor have their number and this is a source of power. People can make things happen once they decide to do something Continuous oppression radicalizes the people
People act on the basis of their self-interest
Start from simple to complex After deep analysis of issues with the people, the people make the decision start where the people are but do not end where they are
Situation of the Urban Poor Today
Collective assertion of citizenship rights in front of Quezon City Hall resulted in a dialogue between ULAP and Acting Mayor Herbert Bautista.
Senate: Demanding Government Accountability to the Poor by Pushing for Legislative Inquiry
There is power in number. But warm bodies alone without collective consciousness is not power.
Participatory Decision-Making Process in the community is the path to collective self-determination.
