Ruby Perry, longtime community organizer and activist, offered a training to "Focus on the Roots".  The idea came from a discussion about having a basic shared language for our work to build a movement for change. Many of us already understand the "how to's" of organizing but we just don't have a shared language to effectively work together.

The general agenda for the training is as follows:
"Focus on the Roots"

I.    Individual Dynamics
        Participation   
        Cooperation
        Responsibility
   
II    Collective Dynamics
        Facilitation
        Agenda setting
        Decision making

III    Movement Dynamics
        Anti-oppression
        Broad Visioning
        Paradigm shift
