Talk:Anchors and Staff

Although Anchor Orgs are listed Alphabetically, I changed the order and put MWRO (the strongest, most inclusive and well known, with national ties) first because that anchor advocates for the human and civil rights of all people, not just one target group or cause. MWRO also has the resources and strength to ensure the "coordination were the media teams and the outreach teams."

Based upon the Altanta Forum Eval.:

Strong anchor organization in location is necessary. Strengths of the committee lay in its openness and accessibility as well as strong communication structures. The committee reflected a broad range of people from all kinds of communities with a variety of skills and resources.

It would have been helpful to engage folks in larger institutions like schools, churches, Grady Hospital, labor unions, and city workers earlier on in the process. Specific communities missing in large numbers were: the Latino community, the Asian community, immigrant and refugee community, faith-based communities, working women, low-income folks, and Black radical leadership. A more clear and aggressive organizing strategy would have helped to outreach to coalitions, networks, and organizations. Young people did not find the process to be accessible or enough entry points.
