This web site is created by the Ontario Project for Inter-Clinic Community Organizing (OPICCO). It offers information and resources to help legal clinics, community agencies, activists and low-income people become better community organizers.

Techspeak for Nonprofits: How to Communicate Effectively with Technology Professionals
Web 2.0, ASP.NET, AJAX, CMS, TCP-IP...?? Does all the technical jargon make your head spin when trying to take on a technology project for your organization?
Do you feel frustrated and that you have no control of your technology projects? Are you having a hard time trying to understand what IT professionals are saying?
Technology can be intimidating, and feeling like you are not on the same wavelength as your technology provider can be a frustrating experience for everyone involved.
Centre for Studies in Social Justice
This University of Windsor department has links to research and information on a wide range of social justice issues, posts current and old events (including conferences, workshops and other training opportunities) and produces a twice yearly journal on Studies in Social Justice.
Tenant Organizing Manual
This manual was developed to assist tenants to form self-help tenant associations and guide them through their organization and operations. There are sections on why tenants should organize, how to organize, and how to set up and manage a tenants' association. There are also several sample documents, such as meeting minutes, agendas, by-laws, and a tenant maintenance questionnaire.
Please note that this resource has been updated to reflect the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) that took effect on January 31, 2007.
