As Black people in the United States, every right that we have is a direct result of community organizing. Community organizing is the people directly impacted by an problem, strategizing and building power to win policy change or resources to improve their quality of life. The ON THE GROUND podcast centers effective grassroots community organizers to share their wisdom on the artistic science of organizing. We will also bring music, soundtracks to the struggle into the podcast. Community organizing is not activism.
