الوصف: Investing in community leadership development (CLD) remains a strategy with promise in creating vibrant communities. Although many low-income CLD programs teach effective leadership skills, these often lay fallow due to lacking opportunities for graduates to apply the skills. This study explores how providing competitive minigrants fuels the creation of value-adding community projects. In-depth interviews were conducted with 55 graduates of a low-income CLD program, 19 facilitators, and 12 community members knowledgeable about the program. The study observed that by providing seed money for graduate projects, CLD programs can help translate skills into practice thereby increasing community engagement and socio-economic wellbeing.

الوصف: This article explores the promise of infusing the community health worker—Promotores—model within social work. In support of community health and social justice, we encourage a return to the historical legacy of this model and our profession by emphasizing not only access and quality of health and social services, but also indigenous leadership development and community advocacy to engender multisystemic change. In so doing, we highlight a richly successful Promotores organization—PASOs—serving Latino communities throughout South Carolina and conclude by discussing the possibilities of this model as we strive to (re)imagine culturally responsive approaches to social work research and practice.

مصطلحات موضوعية: SOCIAL justice, LABOR unions, CASE studies, COMMUNITY organization, COALITIONS

مصطلحات جغرافية: FLORIDA, UNITED States

مستخلص: This article reviews the decline of U.S. unions and examines proposals for their revitalization. It also notes the emergence of new actors in working class communities to fill the void left by declining union power. Using south Florida as an example, it chronicles the growth of a “social justice infrastructure” of community organizations such as worker centers, working-class grassroots community organizing groups, faith-based worker rights groups, and labor-community coalition groups. It notes difficulties in building deep coalitions between traditional unions and such groups and explores the possibility of “networks” as a new promising organizational form. It finds limitations to the network form also, and proposes that a synergistic conjunction of various types of political and economic struggles and forms holds more promise than any one particular organizational form.

مستخلص: Community benefits agreements are a relatively new tool in the economic justice movement. This article discusses community-labor partnerships in efforts to win community benefits agreements in African American communities, with implications for other communities of color. Union and African American organizing strategies are explored and two community benefits campaigns are examined: the Figueroa Corridor Coalition for Economic Justice and the One Hill Community Benefits Coalition. Clashes emerging around divergent world views are reviewed along with strategies to address potential challenges in order to build and maintain successful cross cultural coalitions.

People: ALINSKY, Saul David, 1909-1972

مستخلص: The author reflects on the life of the late Saul D. Alinsky. He describes Alinsky, who was born on January 30, 1909, to be feisty, kicking and very vocal of his ideas about the cruelties of the world. He says that Alinsky had become widely-known in the field of community organizing given his efforts to teach people to become active citizens. He adds that, aside from community organizing, Alinsky had also become popular because of his bombastic rhetoric and outrageous tactics.

مصطلحات موضوعية: FOSSIL fuels, FOOD security measures, COMMUNITY organization, NATURAL gas, PETROLEUM, ECONOMIC demand, LOCAL foods, SUPPLY-side economics

مصطلحات جغرافية: NORTH America

مستخلص: This paper examines the relationship between fossil fuels and food security and makes recommendations for community organizers. During the 20th century, North America's food system grew critically dependent on oil and natural gas for production, processing, and transportation. The authors argue that numerous petroleum-related factors including supply problems, increasing global demand, and geopolitical tensions may now threaten food security. Various approaches to reducing fossil-fuel dependency and increasing local food production are explored. The authors conclude that community organizers can make important contributions to local food security, and they provide specific recommendations and resources for doing this. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
