Summary

This quote highlights the appeal of community organizing, emphasizing its belief in the power and autonomy of individuals from marginalized backgrounds. It suggests that community organizing is appealing because it acknowledges the agency of the poor, valuing their ability to independently make decisions and contribute to their own empowerment. This approach challenges traditional top-down approaches that often overlook or undermine the voices and capacities of those in disadvantaged positions. Community organizing, on the other hand, seeks to empower individuals by recognizing and promoting their capacity to shape their own lives and communities.
