Keep up to date with grassroots organizing in the West!

The Western Organizing Review is WORC’s newsletter. Offered two-to-three times a year, the Review showcases the community-based grassroots organizing that builds power and wins change throughout the West and Midwest. We include a round-up of the great work our member groups are doing across the region, along with messages from the WORC board chair and executive director. The Review is your source for information on grassroots organizing in the West.
