House Visit Training Jan 22, 2012

Bottom-up Organizing requires organizers to go into the community and conduct house visits with those on the bottom. In the house visit, organizers ask community members what is going on in their communities, what problems they have, and what solutions might be offered to fix those problems. At the end of the visit, community members are invited to the community meeting. It is at the community meeting where solutions to community issues are found and work is tasked out to implement our solutions to improve our communities.

Colombian organizers introduce themselves to community members in a group house visit.
