This article discusses Participatory Research (PR), an intervention approach that involves oppressed people in the analysis of and solutions to social problems. A case study is provided to illustrate the application of PR's principles and components. The project involved the creation of a Homeless Persons Union, whose purpose was to empower participants both individually and collectively in a political struggle against homelessness. PR is suggested as a useful approach for researchers and activists engaged in grassroots organizing.
