Different from conventional public planning methods, community-driven planning is rooted in a long tradition of community organizing. In this interactive online workshop, we will explore the following questions:
- What role does community power building play in community-driven planning?
- What forms of community power are key to developing and implementing solutions to the problems we face?
- How can we better balance uneven power dynamics and ensure democratic decision-making?
- What are strategies and tactics for moving from dominant forms of power to liberatory power?
- How can we grow our capacity for self-governance?
And we will hear stories of community power in action from grassroots leaders building community power for racial and environmental justice, such as: Gloria Walton, The Solutions Project, Strela Cervas, Strela Cervas Consulting, Monica Atkins, CJA, Margaret Gordon, and Alvaro Sanchez, Greenlining
