It's a good time to read (or reread) Saul Alinsky's Rules for Radicals. Great stuff on how to run actions with targets not moralizing generalities. And then there's my book about commuity organizing: Sometimes David Wins: Organizing to Overcome Fated Outsomes. Over the years I've applied many of these lessons to work in Oracle. Keep going, Gary!

Sound advice. For those who have not read Frank’s book, you can get it here: https://actapublications.com/sometimes-david-wins/. I read it in 2022 and one of my favorite passages discussed the Iron Rule — “Never Do for People What They Can Do for Themselves.”
