Building Power With Communities

This is placeholder text about Building Power With Communities.

The Wikipedia page on Community says this:

A community is a social unit (a group of people) with a shared socially-significant characteristic, such as place, set of norms, culture, religion, values, customs, or identity. Communities may share a sense of place situated in a given geographical area (e.g. a country, village, town, or neighborhood) or in virtual space through communication platforms. Durable good relations that extend beyond immediate genealogical ties also define a sense of community, important to people's identity, practice, and roles in social institutions such as family, home, work, government, TV network,^[^{clarification needed}^] society, or humanity at large.^[¹^] Although communities are usually small relative to personal social ties, "community" may also refer to large-group affiliations such as national communities, international communities, and virtual communities.^[²^]

In terms of sociological categories, a community can seem like a sub-set of a social collectivity.^[³^] In developmental views, a community can emerge out of a collectivity.^[⁴^]

The English-language word "community" derives from the Old French comuneté (Modern French: communauté), which comes from the Latin communitas "community", "public spirit" (from Latin communis, "common").^[⁵^]

Human communities may have intent, belief, resources, preferences, needs, and risks in common, affecting the identity of the participants and their degree of cohesiveness.
