In an era of income inequality, environmental degradation, and racism, our chapters in Lynn, Worcester, Springfield, and Holyoke are building the power to confront this triple crisis in Massachusetts. We fill the ballot box with our votes. We fill the streets with our voices. We seed the new alternatives that put power and decision-making in the hands of those directly affected. We know that a better world is possible and that we are the ones who will build it.
Campaigns
We also show up for Black Lives Matter, the Fight for $15, and other movements on the path to liberation.
Victories: What We’ve Won
Our Theory of Change
We view our society as a tree, rooted in particular values and beliefs. Out of those roots grow systems, such as our government and our economy (the trunk), whose policies and programs (the branches) yield the reality of everyday life in our communities (the fruits).
If we are to change our lives, we must change our society, from the roots up. We seed the powerful values of love, gratitude, imagination, courage, solidarity, abundance, and integrity through our chapters and our campaigns, transforming our government and our economy to remake reality in our communities.
Our core values
Power
We claim our power as workers, immigrants, women, and people of color, and we play to win.
Love
Love is our north star, our guiding light. We start from the heart and lead from a place of service to a larger whole.
Gratitude
We thank each other, our allies, and the elders who make us powerful– as individuals and as an organization.
Imagination
We dream big. We are launching new experiments across the state that put people and planet before profit.
Integrity
We make the road by walking–so how we walk matters. We embody the values we propose for our society at large.
Abundance
There is plenty to go around, in our economy and in our movements. We find wealth in our interdependence.
Solidarity
We are well if you are well.
