Inclusive decision-making within communities is an essential precursor to social justice in, and sustainability of organizational systems. We know that thriving communities have at their center strong, inclusive, organized, and civic-engaged people that capitalizes on the ideas and talents of all community members to address challenges or areas of opportunity in that community. In Civic Engagement 101, participants will learn basic skills and tools in community organizing and civic engagement designed to facilitate: understanding personal power, a historical overview of and analysis of power in Tucson, and the power of leveraging relationships in shared community work.
