We live in an age of community organizing. Across
America, neighborhoods, towns and cities are creating groups dedicated to
improving the lives of their members and their communities. Unfortunately,
most of these groups involve few of the people they claim to speak for.
Even the best organized efforts -- like the programs
in Seattle, St. Paul and Rochester, NY -- involve less than five percent
of the population. These groups aggressively reach out, but with little
success. Americans are busy people, and it's tough to involve them and
keep them involved.
We can help. With our approach:
- Surveys let citizens express their
views
- Citizens get an opportunity to
select representatives they trust and identify with
- All segments of the community can
participate in collaborative problem-solving
