Successful organizing is based on the recognition that people get organized because they, too, have a vision.

Successful organizing is not built on self-interest but rather on dignity and a sense of purpose.

As free citizens in a political democracy, we have a responsibility to be interested and involved in the affairs of the human community, be it at the local or the global level.

The only way to change is to vote. People are responsible.
