Majority-Based Neighborhood Organizing and Its Role in
Contemporary Community Practice
"Neighborhood organizing has been an important aspect of community
organizatin over the last 50 years. However, as individuals identify less
with geographic communities and community organizing efforts become issue -
as opposed to localtiy-based, the viability of neighborhood-focused
organzing efforts becomes more uncertain. This article describes one model
of neighborhood organizing which uses a majority-based approach that is
being implemented in Chicago, Illinois and Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The
philosophy and methodology of this approach are described and examples of
specific organizing efforts are included. The article concludes with an
analysis of the strenths and weaknesses of this model." (Article copies
