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 designs an action to secure significant commitments to address those issues and concerns. Local work is primary; however, with time, the local organizing committees will colaborate 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. Nearly 3000 people from more than 36 congreagtions attended P.O.W.E.R.'s Founding Convention. The basic action at all levels of P.O.W.E.R. is the conducting of one on one and issue research meetings in order to hear about what concerns our neighbors. 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 In addition, member congregations have been orgainized into clusters. ASUMC is a part of the Center City Cluster.
P.O.W.E.R.'s first city-wide campaign is underway and is focused on creating pathways to jobs during the Airport Expansion Project for Philadelphia residents that live in some of our most underdserved neighbotrhoods. The Airport Expansion Project is the largest public works project Philaelphia has experienced in a long time. A series of Economic Justice Forums have been completed.
