Community-Organizers come from outside of the community. An outside organization hires, trains and dispatches (assigns) them to a community in order to mobilize the community to seek the kind of solutions that the organization wants. Communities don’t ask for these people to be sent, they show up and start taking over.

Ultimately, the organization seeks to harness the political power of a community for the elitists’ own ends.
