Actually, organizing is best done by pitching to the choir. 
The key is to show those who agree with you something in
motion, and thereby find the ones who are looking for
something real to be a part of.  That's how you recruit the
leaders and build a movement.  Organizers "call to emulate."

It isn't about spin or consciousness-raising, which the
"preaching to the choir" line implies, whenever you hear it
brought against you.
