@GRASS-ROOTS.ORG tells the stories of the most innovative grassroots programs in the United States and the local heroes who've found effective ways to build their communities, fix what's broken and make them better. We hope you'll be inspired, and then we hope you'll decide to roll up your sleeves and get involved in your own community, be it in the U.S. or anywhere on Earth.
These stories are the result of my work from 1990 through 1998. Sadly, many of these fine organizations are no longer active, and in many cases contact information has changed. I regret that it is no longer practical for us to update information, but I leave the original body of information online as a way of celebrating these innovative ideas and the outstanding people who put them to work in their communities.
