Michelle Obama
Is one of the original faculty on Northwestern's Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) Institute. ABCD is the hottest of hot shit in community development and grassroots organizing.
This.
Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) reverses the "let's help those poor poor people" approach to urban and rural community development. From the ABCD website, this approach focuses instead on:
* the skills of local residents
* the power of local associations
* the resources of public, private and non-profit institutions
* the physical and economic resources of local places.
And Michelle Obama is one of the original faculty at this Institute.
Wow, do I want this woman and her husband in the White House. YES. Yes we can.
