This afternoon I had a great meeting with Rick Feldman of the Boggs Center. We discussed the history and impact of different approaches to community organizing. When our conversation concluded he suggested I share my experiences and lessons. There have been many lessons learned. I will write more but for now what I've concluded Detroit needs is what groups like the Boggs Center, the triumvirate of the Digital Justice Coalition (Detroit Food Justice Task Force, East Michigan Environmental Action Council and Detroit Future Media) and select others are doing. Thus, that is the direction I am moving.
