Grit TV<\/a> offered a Skype clip tonight featuring activist and public policy lecturer\u00c2\u00a0Marshall Ganz<\/a> talking about community organizing and the politics of hope. In the spirit of Saul Alinsky<\/a>, Ganz notes how marketing strategies over the past 40 years have replaced organizing strategies, rather than people\u00c2\u00a0mobilizing and linking together for a common cause. At least up until recently. He mentions transformational vision as the function of criticality, an understanding of the world’s pain, but also of hope and a vision of the world’s potential.<\/p>\n

‘The politics of hope are much more demanding; they require development of our imaginative skills, taking responsibility and looking for opportunity and taking risks to act. That’s the environment we’re in right now. \u00c2\u00a0….We are in a fast moment now’.<\/em><\/p>\n
