Two Kinds of Community Organizing

John talks about two different approaches to community organizing in a Q & A session on community development with participants in a workshop sponsored by the Communities First Association.

Watch the conversation and discover the difference between community organizing and advocacy organizing. What is your focus? Is it different from your passion? Does your work address both? Can community work and social justice work be separated? How do you navigate the full half/empty half scenario?
