SOCM Gets a New Name
SOCM members have spoken! A new name, ratified by SOCM’s membership, is finally making its first official public debut – Statewide Organizing for Community eMpowerment.
“The board worked very hard in all directions to get input from members about the name change. In the end the majority of members voting felt a deep understanding of why the name change had to happen even though it is painfully hard to let go of the old name.
