Mission Statement<\/h4>\n

The mission of Maine People\u2019s Alliance is to create a world where everyone has what they need, contributes what they can, and no one is left behind.<\/h3>\n

By forming community with people from all walks of life, we build power, inspire new leaders, heal divisions\u2014particularly across lines of race\u2014and win campaigns that change what is politically possible.<\/p>\n

With more than 32,000 members across Maine, MPA is the state's largest community action organization.<\/p>\n

Over the past three decades, MPA has worked to build a powerful statewide grassroots movement for progressive social change, serving as a leader in state campaigns for expanded health care access, toxics use reduction, affordable housing, universal home care, clean elections reform, racial justice, immigrant rights, a higher minimum wage and tax fairness, among others.<\/p>\n

MPA is dedicated to providing Maine people with the tools, knowledge, skills and opportunity to become involved in the decision-making processes that affect their lives.<\/p><\/div>

PEOPLE, POWER, PROGRESS<\/h4>\n

40 Years of MPA<\/h2>\n

In 2022, Maine People's Alliance celebrated its 40th anniversary. To mark this milestone, some of the people who have been a part of our work shared their thoughts on the power we've built in communities across Maine and the progress we've made towards achieving a world where everyone has what they needs, contributes what they can, and no one is left behind.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
