Calling all Organizing Bloggers to Write a Post on Blog Action Day 2008! Theme is Poverty - How can organizing skills and Professional Organizers influence poverty?

This years Blog Action Day Theme hits really close to home for me.  Partly because I grew up on welfare myself and transitioned out after getting my first non-minimum wage job after college.  Also, Partly because as a Professional Organizer and Organizing Coach I often work with people who are living in poverty or are seriously underearning due to their chronic disorganization. 

So I'm reaching out to all my fellow organizers to write about this topid on October 15 and be a part of helping make people more aware of how organizing skills and lack thereof can affect children and families.  Please share any personal or professional experiences you can of how we can have an impact on reducing poverty in this country and around the world!  I'd love to hear from organizers in other countries as well. 

Ways you can participate:

• Send me your link and I'll post it hear and create a list of
