| Title |
Claiming Their Space: Rethinking the Role of Local Community Organizations in Social Justice Work
|
| Abstract |
A case study of two English language local community organizations working in Montreal and their contribution to social justice work in the city. Based on interviews with thirteen current and former staff and senior volunteers, the author highlights the challenges and opportunities for local organizations to contribute to social justice work within the existing neoliberal context. The author concludes that while local organizations may not be at the centre of progressive social change, they can and need to claim, and re-claim, their space in this work by clearly stating their intent and organizing their programs and services to work for collective justice.
