Produced as part of the Challenge for Change Program, this series examines Saul Alinsky’s method of organising communities into effective action units based on participation democracy. As demonstrated in the Woodland Organisation in Chicago, Alinsky’s technique creates ongoing organisations firmly rooted in the community.
