Based on Monday’s training on Good Public Policy: Grassroots Organizing and Electoral Politics, what do you think the role of grassroots organizing is in the political process of this country?
The role of grassroots politics in our country was clearly visible in the past presidential election where President Barack Obama’s campaign was driven by grassroots efforts. A lot of movements are being driven by grassroots organizing in today’s world. The role of grassroots organizing in the political process is everything. Things must be built up from the bottom. Once there is a stable base then there is somewhere to build from. With grassroots being the base there is now something to build off of and grow from. In public policy grassroots is where a lot of ideas start and grow from.
