The bulk of this book explores how to develop organizations that build citizen power to create change. However, Chapter 11 deals directly with on-going evaluation of the organizing process, specifically with the evaluation of organizing tactics and actions.
After detailing the basics of how to develop an action plan, Brown includes a checklist for evaluating an action. He provides advice on who to invite and when to conduct a post-action evaluation and the checklist provides a series of questions to use in debriefing the action with core constituents. Though brief, this checklist may provide organizers with some guidelines and important points to consider in conducting on-going reflection and evaluation in the midst of an organizing campaign.
He provides first person narratives of his experience working with community organizing groups in planning, implementing, and evaluating the effectiveness of tactics within an organizing campaign. These stories may give organizers some insight and comparisons into how other groups have dealt with successes and challenges as they implement their organizing plans. |
