Resources for Social Change
When you create a blog, or a forum post, or a group posting on the website, you have the opportunity to select a group that the post is relevant to. The idea is that the members of these groups will automatically get an email that let's them know what was posted, and gives a direct link to the post.
This group is a ROOTS Workgroup, which means that it identifies itself around a particular body of work.

RSC & C/APP relationship in Baltimore
Hi everyone,
This is a discussion forum to examine how the
Community/Artist Partnership Program (C/APP) and Resources for Social
Change (RSC) interact when working in specific communities.
We
will use this opportunity to look at the C/APP projects currently
underway in Baltimore, MD. Bring up questions, concerns, successes and frustrations. Hope has agreed to moderate this online
discussion. This discussion board will supplement other conversations
via phone and face-to-face. Please let me know if there are any
logistical issues accessing this discussion forum.
I want to kick
off the conversation by asking the question: how do we, as artists from
outside a particular community, create sustainable community arts

Dear colleague,
On November 19th, 20th and 21st, the University of California Institute for Research in the
Arts and the University of California, San Diego will be hosting the 4th annual State of the
Arts conference. The theme of the conference, Future Tense: Alternative Arts and
Economies in the University, provides a broad umbrella under which to consider the
encroaching privatization of public education and the complex mix of economic, cultural and
social forces currently placing pressure on the status of the arts within the research university, as
well as the notion of the university itself as haven for liberal arts education.
The State of the Arts conference brings together an interdisciplinary group of practitioners

Rent our Technology: making the technology ROOTs has developed available to the system.
So this is a hunch, but it's an educated one. The technology that was recently created for ROOTS (integrated website, membership, registration, directory and development systems) might be something that could potentially be very valuable to other organizations. If this is true for you, read on.
It would be in the best interests of an organization with a mission like ROOTS to facilitate that technology becoming available cost effectively to ROOTS organizations.
There are a couple of different scenarios and business models that would support something like that.
Facebook and ROOTS
ROOTers get ready, cause this might make your head spin: You can now share AlternateROOTS with your facebook world, simply by clicking the blue facebook 'share' link at the bottom of the page/s you want to publish and share with your facebook friends.
In addition, when you write a BLOG or a FORUM on the ROOTS site, it will automatically publish to the ROOTs facebook page (hint: lots more people will read it).
And thirdly, people can now become facebook fans of ROOTS from the ROOTs homepage.
Can I get an AMEN?
Reconcilation out of Agitation
Greetings ROOTS members!
I have a question for you. Last Spring when the local theater in my community which is called
The Prince, announced it was producing a new play about the history of
Chestertown MD with a similar subject to the outdoor 1777 reenactment play that
is performed outside every year at the Tea Party Festival, I had a question.
How can you as a community theater, be preparing a new play
about freedom and equality without recognizing African American history and
presence in this community?
