Are there other guides for organizers
on the web?
For more concrete advice on organizing
and activism, there are manuals, guides, and case studies available
on the internet as well. Below is a small collection of them.

student activists and made available through United for a Fair
Economy.

of a guide written authored by researchers at ACORN and Wayne
