It's not too late to add your comments to our online Tactical Dialogue on Participatory Research for Action. This dialogue was active from November 17 to 23, 2010. Participatory research can create credible and critical documentation at the grassroots level.  Not only can the information be utilized in advocacy and lobbying efforts, the research process itself can serve to create a network of activists, informing organizations working on issues that impact study participants, and directly benefiting the people themselves.
