View the Contents & Foreword

		“ In this book and DVD, Mike Green and Henry Moore point the way toward creating a powerful citizen-centered local democracy that solves problems, welcomes all neighbors and creates a community of genuine care. Following their path will also lead to the discovery of our personal capacity to renew our own lives by connecting ourselves to the riches that surround us. We are, after all, not people half full. We are a people whose cup runs over. Because Mike and Henry see this so clearly, they are wonderful guides to rediscovering the assets that we can use as we grow powerful as citizens, and our democracy comes alive again. “ –John L. McKnight Co-Director, Asset Based Community Development Institute Foreword of When People Care Enough To Act book

Building Community Connections By Engaging the Gifts of *

*People on welfare
*People with disabilities
*People with mental disabilities
*Older adults
*Young people

This publication contains a group of participation stories—stories that include important lessons. They tell of communities that have found powerful ways to include the individual gifts of members who have been labeled and isolated. They tell of communities that have inventoried their associations and found ways in which formerly isolated people can participate in them. They tell of people labeled old, poor, mentally ill, disabled, young thugs who have become connected citizens. And finally they tell of those extraordinary people who know everyone—Connectors.
