Lyrics Def. of Grassroots Organizing:

  • Bringing our communities into our work- being transperant to where the momney is goin - transperant budget.
  • Listening to the vision for the world they want to see and listening to that vision.
  • Asking for money dirctly and genuinely in a way that you are being considerate.
    • Look at donors already giving and ask for more
    • present sucess stories- do not exploit

Daring ourselves to take risks that is empowering to all in the organisation.
