The Southwest Organizing Project

At the heart of SWOP’s work is community organizing; a strategy of building relationships between people who share common interests and concerns so they can work together to build power to achieve their goals.  SWOP’s organizers and leaders work through member institutions to connect with people that have an interest in public life.  These organizers and leaders conduct one to one meetings to build an understanding of what motives each person and to invite them to participate in collective action on issues they care about.
