Civic & Social Organization - Gary, Indiana, United States
CDOP is a community organizing collective working together to gain power to improve the historic Midtown/Central District neighborhood of Gary, Indiana. Our organization fosters empowerment by developing residents into grassroots leaders & organizing local issue campaigns. We utilize "direct action organizing" to win real improvements in the lives of real people. In addition to other activities in accord with that mission, we also operate Anansi's Web Youth Media Action Project, a youth leadership program that cultivates youth voice and empowerment by engaging local teens in youth media, technology, personal development, and social justice activism.
