For over 30 years, Social Policy has served as key site for intellectual exchange among progressive academics, organizers, and activists from across the United States and beyond, including: Frances Fox Piven, Jonathan Kozol, Noam Chomsky, Marian Wright Edelman, Ivan Illich, Stanley Arnowitz, Eleanor Holmes Norton, Michael Lerner, Gloria Steinem, Nat Hentoff, Patricia Ireland, and many more.
Now published by the American Institute for Social Justice (AISJ) and the ACORN Institute, in cooperation with the Organizer’s Forum, Social Policy provides a platform for wideranging news and debates regarding contemporary movements for social change.
Social Policy emphasizes and informs the work of constituency-based organizers and movements. This includes labor, community and others organizing for social justice, economic equality, and democratic participation in the U.S. and around the world. 
Inside Social Policy
Social Policy features reports and reflections from leading organizers across the range of networks and models, who are in the streets, walking the walk: the Direct Action Network, ACORN, DART, AFL-CIO, Gameliel Foundation, Working Families Party, IAF, immigrant organizers, and many others.
In the era of globalization and globalized resistance, Social Policy offers unparalleled coverage of global social movements: “Piquateros” in Argentina, Landless Workers Movement (MST) in Brazil, Community Organizing in India, Land Struggles in Zimbabwe.
Plus, Social Policy includes special reports on immigrant organizing, youth organizing, and organizing around the upcoming elections.

“SOCIAL POLICY asks what is to be done to secure basic structural changes in American society. Its pages will provide a meeting ground — and battleground — where ideas, tactics and strategies for radical reconstruction of American institutions can be expressed and exchanged, tested and debated, expanded and deepened.”
Editorial in Social Policy #1, May/June 1970, Frank Reisman, Founding Editor
