Advocacy on behalf of the poor is a movement that brings together people from many different backgrounds. Consider ways that your church, small group, book club, professional association, or family can get involved. You can choose to organize large events, or you can start with those closest to you. More often than not, social movements exist because a small group of committed people set out to do something. The goal for your community organizing efforts is to educate people and inspire action. One of the challenges for an organizer is to direct the desire for change into effective action steps.

You may also want to just involve your social networks – consider speaking or inviting a speaker to your professional or social network.
