Grassroots Activism is Not Dead: The East Side Organizing Project Fights On

March 2nd, 2008 · No Comments

shark.jpgI’m reading Randy Cunningham’s book on grassroots activism and it’s roots in Cleveland during the 70s. The East Side Organizing Project was one of the first neighborhood activist groups in Cleveland…and from reading the book, many other neighborhood groups modeled themselves, or aspired to, after ESOP. This AP story shows ESOP in all their glory in 2006 going after a bank executive……leaving plastic sharks behind!  Check it out, it’s about the foreclosure crisis as it attacked their neighborhood and how they decided to fight back.  Peace Out – 3C
