Frank C. Pierson, Jr. (Democratic Faith) and Gregory F. Augustine Pierce (ACTA Publications), are teaming up to encourage Industrial Areas Foundation network (IAF) writing and communications. We share a conviction that writing, publishing and broadly communicating stories by and about IAF leaders, organizers and allies is of vital importance right now. To that end we call your attention to a series of community organizing booklets published by ACTA that are premier learning resources for anyone interested in building and/or supporting citizen organizing.
Pierce and Pierson have decades of experience as professional IAF organizers dating back to the early 1970’s. We have renewed our relationship based on a shared commitment to add value to IAF organizing.
