Regarding Visionary Organizing Randy Williams found an equally interesting piece here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SjhNrNX34Ctl9EcWuafNN4W1oDIYlnL0PT0qm2Z5... 1st 2 sentences "Despite current ads and slogans, the world doesn’t change one person at a time. It changes as networks of relationships form among people who discover they share a common cause and vision of what’s possible. This is good news for those of us intent on changing the world and creating a positive future". There is a related point not either/or either onsite or online but onsite<--->online. Doing a program in one little corner of the universe without sharing it is just plain parochial or worse a little bit stingy. Here is an example of local<->global sharing where someone picks up on ICA's work with participatory methods on the West Side of Chicago and contrasts it with Saul Alinsky's organizing. http://the99percent.com/articles/7175/99-Conference-2012-Key-Takeaways-On-Ma...). Seem's like it might be a useful public reference point for the Accelerate 77 Neighborhoods Program sponsored by ICA-USA this summer. Really interesting exchange Harper & Parker. Hope you guys aren't so busy that there is no space or imagination to share stories and pictures. -- Steve Harrington
