MICAH Organizing Model

MICAH builds community organizations based in religious congregations.

MICAH helps congregations identify and collectively solve local issues, before addressing broader issues at a state or national level.

MICAH provides intensive leadership training that teaches people how to use the tools of democracy to improve their communities.

MICAH brings people together based on faith and values, which is the foundation that drives their pursuit of social justice.

MICAH challenges its leaders to listen to the concerns and ideas of their neighbors through individual one-on-one meetings, house meetings and listening campaigns.

MICAH takes the time for leaders to meet with public officials and policy experts to research how things work and who really has the power to make changes.

MICAH teaches communities the art of compromise and negotiation in working with public officials to effect positive changes.
