The Midwest Academy offers a five day, residential, comprehensive
"Organizing for Social Change" training throughout the country.
Participants come from a wide variety of organizations. Most are working
on specific issue campaigns and building powerful, progressive
organizations. The training helps them to be more strategic in their
fight for social, economic, racial and environmental justice.
There are different methods of organizing or ways of making social
change, and all have their uses. Midwest Academy uses and teaches the
"Direct Action Organizing" concept. Direct Action Organizing is based on
the power of people to take collective action on their own behalf. The
point is not that one approach is better than others. In fact, often
many kinds of organizing are needed, but the Midwest Academy focuses on
Direct Action Organizing. http://www.midwestacademy.com/social-change-training-session/oct-7-2013-oct-11-2013
