This year's presidential campaign is putting "community
organzing" into new focus throughout the country.
Candidate Barack Obama claims his experience working
as a community organizer in Chicago as part of
what qualifies him for president. At the Republican
National Convention, comments by
vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin caused many to ask
"just what does a community organizer do?"
Tune in to KWMU 90.7's "St Louis on the Air" to hear a
discussion of community organizing with three talented voices
from Jobs with Justice:
- The Rev. Audrey Hollis A long-time
faith co-chair from St Louis JwJ and former
JwJ faith organizer. Her experience as an organizer
now influences her political leadership as an Alderman in
Bellefontaine Neighbors.
- Eddie Caumiant A labor organizer with the
Service Employees International Union Local 1, and the
Organizing Committee co-chair for St Louis Jobs with
Justice
- Amy Smoucha A community organizer
focusing on health care with Missouri Jobs with
Justice.
