What is Organizing and Mobilizing?

Organizing and mobilizing refers to efforts to engage individuals and groups in collaborative efforts, coalitions, constituency development or community building around a specific viewpoint, or to inform the public about a particular set of issues. These activities may include protests, town meetings, petitions, and public recognition campaigns. Organizing activities may lead to referenda and resolutions that the public or stakeholders should consider. Click here to read more.
