Interviews
Community Organizing: Why it Works- Lizbeth Santillan
We interviewed Lizbeth Santillan, a lifelong resident in South Thornton, about what community organizing means and how we can use it to engage folks. Some amazing insight that she gave us was community organizing doesn't always have to be political in the sense of how we traditionally think of it. Community organizing can be building ties in your community, which is just as radical.
