Faith-Based Community Organizing
ASUMC is a founding member of P.O.W.E.R, an interfaith movement (Philadelphians Organized to Witness, Empower and Rebuild). The basic goal is to create a network of local organizing committees – one in each congregation – that identifies community issues and concerns and conducts research on those issues and concerns and design an action to secure significant commitments to address those issues and concerns. Local work is primary; however, with time, the local organizing committees will connect to address city-wide, state-wide and national issues. Success comes by getting hundreds and eventually thousands of like-minded people in a room with the people who have the authority to make change. Over 250 people from more than 25 congreagtions are conducting one on one and issue research meetings in order to listen to the community concerns of their peers. In addition research meetings are in progress with persons who have indepth insight into P.O.W.E.R.'s key areas of concern: Jobs and Poverty; Education and Youth; Public Safety and Criminal Justice; Housing and Vacant Land; Health Care and Older Adults. The next gathering for the Center City P.O.W.E.R. congregations will be Tuesday, January 17, 2012, 6:30 PM at St. Peter's Episcopal Church - 313 Pine Street. The ASUMC Local Organizing Committee (LOC) meet monthly. The next meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, January 11, 2012, 3PM at the church in the second floor conference room. This group welcomes everyone to join them in supporting the city-wide campaign on Jobs and Education and their local campaign on Women and Homelessness. Currently the LOC is conducting One on One conversations with 50 folks on the topic of "What A Job Means to You!" If you can help the cause. please contact Pastor Robin by telephone (215) 498 3718 or email robin@archstreetumc.org.
