                                Organizing Takes Knowledge

                                Our new online library was born out of the Wisconsin struggle to protect labor, the environment, the rights of students, low income populations, people with disabilities, and the many others being impacted by an unjust state budget proposal.  We are collecting short "how to" pieces on the many aspects of organizing from organizers and trainers across the U.S.  We hope that you'll find this small sampling of resources helpful as you organize in your community and welcome you to send resources to add to this library to support@grassrootsleadershipcollege.org.  

                                Special thanks to Alta Lash for contributing this first set of resources.  Many more will be added in upcoming days and weeks.
