If you’ve been following the election at all, you know that Barack Obama’s work as a community organizer has been a high-profile issue in his campaign. I was at dinner with one of Oxfam’s organizers last week (said dinner took place at a sports bar in Kansas City, Missouri—more on that in a moment), and he told me that all the recent news coverage about organizers has led to a lot of questions about what he does for a living.
In fact, after accompanying an Oxfam speaking tour throughout the Midwest, I’ve learned a lot myself about what organizers have to contend with.
