Taking a break from politics tonight. In honor of the sentiments of the day, I'm highlighting a community building publication available free on the web (pdf file).
Discovering Community Power: A Guide to Mobilizing Local Assets and Your Organization's Capacity, by John P. Kretzmann and John L. McKnight, with Sarah Dobrowolski and Deborah Puntenney.
It is a 34 page workbook designed to help organizations realize what their connections and strengths are. If you are new to community work it might prove very useful in mapping out what your assets are. Experienced community builders and elected officials may want to have a copy on hand to use with new organizations or to develop community groups where needed.
Tomorrow we will return to our previously scheduled political snark.

jane,
Thanks for posting on the community power workbook from Kretzmann.
keep talking this workbook up. It's better than any political rant anyday, although I'm sure you are a great blogger. ABCD challenges politicos everywhere to get serious about the communities they serve
