I was an organizer in the Food, Agricultural and Tobacco Workers Union down in North Carolina.

There are plenty of people out there talking about how difficult it is for some of us to just deal with all the stuff we already have, from packed closets that need organizers to storage spaces to maintenance costs, etc. Lots of people are reevaluating whether or not they need giant garages full of stuff and finding that they don't.
Alex Steffen
I'm an educator. I'm an organizer.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
The best advice I ever got as an organizer was that if you can organize your family, you're a good organizer.
Alicia Garza
Eco sees the intellectual as an organizer of culture, someone who can run a magazine or a museum. An administrator, in fact. I think this is a melancholy situation for an intellectual.
Antonio Tabucchi
A first-rate organizer is never in a hurry. He is never late. He always keeps up his sleeve a margin for the unexpected.
Arnold Bennett
Raising me as a single parent, my mother held many jobs. Most of them had to do with the betterment and the advancement of our community and society at large. I grew up seeing her active in ministries at our church, with the homeless, as a social worker, with elderly, with youth, as a children's rights organizer with the Urban League of Chicago.
Ayanna Pressley
Scientists, especially physicists, we're presumptuous and think we can do everything better than everybody else. And one thing that I realized early is, I had some talent managing and organizing things - you know, some people are better organizers than others - but why should I reinvent the wheel?
Barry Barish
The organizers and perpetuators of segregation are as much the enemy of America as any foreign invader.
Bayard Rustin
President Obama started in public life not as an elected official but as a community organizer. He worked with churches and other groups on the south side of Chicago to push public leaders to fight poverty, improve the local school system and make housing more affordable, and to bring about the change the community needed and deserved.
Ben Rhodes
I was the adoring son of a Welsh-Irish father, a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat, a Catholic Knight of Columbus who was a blue-collar, trade union organizer and, not surprisingly, a fervid Nixon-hater.
Bob Gunton
I am not a hoodlum. I'm a community organizer.
Bobby Seale
There's the part of me that's the organizer, part of me that's the artist, part of me that's the person who, even with those two things, wants to figure out what my place in the world is. How to engage with it and whether my life has any meaning.
Boots Riley
A lot of organizers tell me that while they are making signs or doing whatever they do, they are listening to the Coup.
I try to find creative ways to put ideas out to make the ground fertile for organizers.
When I played Bobby Fischer, my opponent fought against organizations - the television producers and the match organizers. But he never fought against me personally. I lost to Bobby before the match because he was already stronger than I. He won normally.
Boris Spassky
All my life, I've been lucky to work in social justice, starting as a labor organizer working with low-wage working women.
Cecile Richards
All across the country, the Women's March inspired doctors and teachers and mothers to become activists and organizers and, yes, candidates for office.
I think you'll see if you look at 'Up', we've focused a lot on labor (and the forces trying to keep labor down) and have featured everything from Wal Mart workers, to on-the-ground organizers, to union presidents to restaurant workers sitting at the table sharing their experience and expertise.
Chris Hayes
My mother was a teacher, my father was a community organizer. I come from a working class background.
As I review the great history of our nation, community organizers have been at the center of so many of our great social movements.
My mom pushed me in a baby carriage at Martin Luther King rallies. My grandfather was a union organizer. And to me, there is no room - no room - for discrimination of any kind. To me, it's just an anathema.
Black Lives Matter organizers hold the same values of America's age-old enemies, who have always fought the ideals of our Constitution and our nation. That they have now taken on as their costume a false concern for Black America only adds to their depravity.
As an organizer in the most underrepresented communities in my state, I have felt the frustration that so many voters must feel when other states limit polling locations, require photo IDs, and put unnecessary barriers in front of voters.
A lot of organizers are trying to figure out how do we create entrances for people so they can be involved in the work in a way that makes them feel is aligned to the things they're interested in and not the things the organizer is interested in?
Jesus was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a governor. And perhaps they should understand the role of a community organizer is to help people in distress.
I'm not the geek in the family: I'm the organizer. But what I do know is that we have a very terrific team of consultants, former federal cybersecurity experts who are working with us to make sure we have a very safe system.
I went to SXSW in 2011. God, that was awful. I mean, I only went because my publisher wanted me to promote the book and the organizers invited me and it seemed silly not to go, especially for a relatively unknown first-time author. This is just not my cup of tea; the fewer such events I do on an annual basis, the happier I feel.
You can't make people change, but the organizers of WorldFest hope that people consider being vegetarian for both moral and health reasons.
I'm not a politician, I'm not an ideologue, I'm not an organizer anymore. I'm a human being sharing ideas, and those ideas have to feel fresh and from my heart and my head, and I have to feel it. You can't force that feeling.
When I think of an activist, I think of a community organizer who is working every day and directly with community members and making it a job to take care of and speak up for a community in some way.
I always considered myself being an organizer. I'm very good at teaching singers, I'm very good at staging a show, to entertain people. But I never included myself. I never applied this to me as an artist.
Mother was actually a great doer and organizer. All the special occasions were directed by mother.
I feel that directors at times are like the janitors on the set. I am the secretary, I am the organizer, I am the maid, and I ask if they have eaten or rested. The best things are always out of your control. It's those moments that surpass the imagination that are thrilling.
In 1981, I was a community organizer.
I'm the total organizer. Everything's got a system. It's in order.
Obama used to be a community organizer. He knows how to build communities.
In my college years, I worked as a union labor organizer. I was just one of the many workers trying to do my part to help the community.
I got a lot of publicity, but it steamrolled. Event organizers weren't used to that kind of behavior, so later, they tightened the rules.
Technology and the Internet are not just changing politics here in the U.S. It's also happening abroad. In the Philippines, where I grew up, grassroots organizers used text messaging to help overthrow a president.
We live in an experience-hungry society with advanced event technology and broad social reach at our fingertips. These external factors offers an ideal environment for organizers to create a connection with a broader set of people and maximize each interaction with their audience.
Democrats need an organizer who will energize the grass-roots across this country to build the party from the bottom up.
I was a college student in 1989 when I participated in the demonstration at Tiananmen Square. I was one of the organizers.
Time and time again, organizers have proved that when we work together, when we organize together, that we can win.
As one of the national organizers of the Women's March back in 2017, immediately after the Women's March, over 20,000 women across the country had registered to run for office - the largest numbers we've seen in probably our entire American history for women to run in this way.
As an activist, organizer, Palestinian, and a Muslim-American woman, I have faced many obstacles in the industry I work in. I often have to fight for my seat and representation for the communities I represent.
One of the areas that many of us, including the Women's March organizers, are focusing on is starting mass voter registration and voter engagement.
I am the most optimistic organizer in this country.
I have my own support network of other organizers, activists, and attorneys.
We cannot afford to have a president who thinks he's some sort of global community organizer standing over America on one side and our adversaries on the other. America must have a Commander in Chief. Not a global community organizer.
