Egypt.

What an example of how community organizing has changed.  Social workers first forged the field, but with technology today, the ability to organize neighborhoods, communities... whole populations is accessible to anybody.  The uprising in Egypt was started by a single Tweet.  And then spread in an amazing way through various social networking tools.  Social workers are taught a very manual way of organizing.  Still.  As teachers of organizing, we need to know the most effective ways of getting our message powerfully and rapidly across.  No longer is it organizing blocks of people through canvassing and leafletting neighborhoods.  That may be the history, the tradition-- but it no longer moves the mass of people that we need it to.  This is a pretty radical curriculum change-- but all of us who teach organizing need to update our methods.  To not do this, is to do a great disservice and absolute INJUSTICE to the very social justice causes we hope to impact.  Blog, anybody?  You're now using one of the most effective communication tools available to the public.  I encourage you to keep your voice loud and proud.  If you have something to say, say it.  People will listen.
