Groundwork Executive Director Rich Buery was quoted in an article published in the September 4, 2008 edition of the New York Nonprofit Press. In a piece entitled "Community Organizing is No Joke; Nonprofit Leaders Outraged at Convention Remarks," Rich said “Fundamentally, community organizing is a strategy where regular citizens come together to make their communities stronger. Community organizing is the Montgomery bus boycott, the march on Selma and 3000 Nehemiah homes in Brooklyn. Community organizers are hardworking, underpaid people who help their neighbors." |
