Mission
Neighbor to Neighbor Massachusetts builds power in low-income and working class communities around economic justice issues.

Our community organizing model includes voter registration and education, candidate endorsements, public policy advocacy, coalition building, and the development of sustainable grassroots leadership.

The Working Family Agenda – good jobs, education and training, affordable child care, health care and housing, a welfare safety net, and progressive taxation – is the cornerstone of our program.

By bringing low-income people back into the political process, developing local leadership, and organizing a broad coalition of allies, we hold politicians accountable to the needs of their constituents and are building a progressive majority in Massachusetts.

History
Neighbor to Neighbor Massachusetts grew out of Neighbor to Neighbor, a national organization which focused on organizing in Central America in the 1980s, and around health care reform in the early 1990s.

In the mid-1990s, N2N-MA re-evaluated our mission to focus on building power in low-income communities around an economic justice agenda. We formed the Working Family Agenda Coalition and are working to build a progressive majority in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
