Student Guide for Community Organizing
Calvo Medina, I. (2020) Student Guide for Community Organizing. The American Cultures Center. https://americancultures.berkeley.edu/aces/student-guide-community-organ...
"I wrote this guide as a collection of anecdotes and lessons I have learned from being an undocumented, working-class woman of color who is also an organizer and a student. I want this guide to inspire people to organize in their communities and develop the tools they need in the ongoing fight for liberation and freedom.
This guide is not a step-by-step manual for you to join a movement and be successful, but rather a testimony to the many things you can and will face when you’re starting to organize." - Itzel Calvo Medina
