Fisher, Robert.
Right-Wing Organizers Do This Too The Case of the Christian Coalition / [electronic resource] : Robert Fisher &Sally Tamarkin. - pp. 403-421.
This article documents and evaluates the organizing strategies of the Christian Coalition in the 1990s. Unlike most other Christian Right efforts, the Christian Coalition strongly emphasized a grassroots component in a social movement strategy that combined local efforts with a national organization. This study informs three debates in the field of community organizing: whether anything of value can be learned from right-wing organizing; whether contemporary organizing should remain focused on the local community or build power at the national level as well; and whether there is a place for mobilizing strategies in progressive community organizing.
