The problem with the second approach is that organizing, too, is unlikely to address the deeper structural and social causes of inequality.
In fact, many citizen organizations imitate
the same patterns of discrimination that they
were formed to combat. A new practice of
citizen leadership requires an integrated strategy
involving participatory education processes
to build people’s ability to analyze their
reality and internal their rights as citizens. It
also takes new alliances and broad-based
democratic organizations that tap the power of
working together as well as respecting and
using people’s difference.
