Building people power through community organizing and movement-building is a critical solution to the historical and current inequitable distribution of power and resources along lines of race and class. Social movements led by communities most impacted by injustice are perhaps the most effective drivers of change. And understanding that when we center justice and equity with communities that have been disproportionately impacted, all communities have the potential to benefit. Today we join Theo Pride, PhD Community Organizer with the Detroit People’s Platform and Frank Romo, CEO at Romo GIS to discuss the role of power in organizing and the benefits of having a technology element to enhance your people campaigns.
