This is quite an accomplishment. Dean Campaign/DNC organizing guru Marshall Ganz offers a brief history of organizing in America, and a hopeful call for democratic renewal.
Open Thread
We'll have a first post from Marshall Ganz on the rise of the "organizer" later today (apologies for the delay). In the meantime, the floor is yours.
This Week: The Rise of the Organizer
This week at TPMCafe we'll host a conversation about the rise of the "organizer" in Democratic politics. The Dean campaign and the Netroots, the sudden prominence of the legendary Saul Alinsky, and ongoing conversation about infrastructure and the "50 state strategy." All of it points to a growing small d democratic trend in the big D Democratic Party.
Starting things off will be Marshall Ganz.
