This second issue of the Community Organizing Journal explores how community organizing elevates a democratic vision of humanity, amid growing challenges from authoritarianism and the concentration of wealth. This introduction categorizes author contributions into “organizing as politics” and “organizing within politics,” reflecting the twin challenges of addressing both internal group dynamics and broader, systemic political contexts. The issue’s articles investigate organizations employing different methodologies of organizing, and investigate topics such as leadership development, anti-racist strategies, and youth-led climate action. Reflections from experienced practitioners suggest new approaches to achieving democratic social change.
