If politics means anything it is "How groups of people organise" without organisation we will not get very far. Organisation creates power to change things - so how we organise is very important.

How come at school we are taught to think about a career, jobs, business studies - Why not, how to form your own union? - School helps the pupil to organise in order to serve business - To protect ourselves from business we need to organise - for ourselves

This group is interested in how people communities and groups organise. As our communities get more atomised we can no longer rely on the big community involvement of of yesteryear. We need to continuously find new ways of creating solidarity from wider afield and by a variety of media - Community journalism, radio, newsletters, mapping and community workshops could hold some of the answers - you may have some ideas yourself; want to help build, or support initiatives already here - learn to create your own.
