A Community Organizer’s Tale – Part 2
On Friday we heard part 1 of a 2-part interview with Mike Miller, a life-long community organizer, who analyzes the good, bad, and the ugly of one particular fight for social justice in his new book, “A Community Organizer’s Tale: People Power In San Francisco.” Miller takes the reader step-by-step through his process and philosophy of organizing, which is rooted in the teachings of his mentor, Saul Alinksy. The book chronicles his time as Director of the Mission Coalition Organization in San Francisco in the late 1960s. Mike Miller has directed various community based projects, including the Organize!Training Center in San Francisco. He also lectures, consults, and conducts workshops. Miller’s writing has appeared in the Social Policy quarterly, of which he was editor for three years, as well as the Boston Review, and many other journals and newspapers.
