"Grassroots social-change organizations are a critical resource for
progressive movement-building in the United States. They provide
political education and sites for constituent engagement, and they
are beginning to create networks across issues and/or communities;
they promote home-grown leadership among groups that have been
disadvantaged; they contribute to a shared understanding of the
problems of inequality and injustice; and they offer a public space
for the dialogue needed to identify common principles."-From the
Ground Up From community organizing for affordable housing in
neglected neighborhoods to providing antiviolence training for
youth or litigating for the rights of sex workers, grassroots
organizations are engaged in energetic efforts to increase the
power of marginalized groups. Social-change organizations operate
in communities all over the United States, but little has been
written about the details of their operations. From the Ground Up
takes a close look at how social-change organizations address
challenges related to leadership, staff development,
decision-making, resource needs, and collaborations. Carol
Chetkovich and Frances Kunreuther, both experienced nonprofit
managers, draw on their in-depth interviews with leaders and staff
members from sixteen diverse social-change organizations to provide
a detailed analysis of these groups and their activities. They note
that even working in isolation, these organizations make important
contributions to justice in their communities; together they might
form the base of a larger progressive movement for change.
