Our Organization
Northeast Action is the regional hub and support center for a dynamic network of action organizations and coalitions in the six New England states and New York State. Founded in 1984, Northeast Action has a staff of 5 and offices in Massachusetts and Connecticut.

Our Goal
To foster a grassroots movement for social change in the Northeast where progressive individuals and communities can find joint purpose and common ground. A movement that promotes democratic renewal and economic justice and the creative strategies, policies and leadership that make change happen.

Our Vision
A democratic society based on principles of social justice and cultural and racial diversity that involves ever greater numbers of people in the public decisions that shape their lives.

Our Network
Our regional network includes four of the most effective membership-based citizen action groups in the country: Citizen Action of New York, New Hampshire Citizens Alliance, the Connecticut Citizen Action Group and the Maine Peoples’ Alliance, and an innovative statewide progressive coalition that brings together labor unions, citizen organizations, environmental, women’s and civil rights groups: Ocean State Action in Rhode Island.

What We Do
Northeast Action works with our affiliates and many other groups on strategic direction and policy development, technical support and staff and leadership training. We help increase capacity for collective action, and strengthen ties to core constituencies. We assist in drawing thousands of new activists, especially from communities that traditionally have been underrepresented in the political system – as well as political activists, community organizers, and progressive elected officials – into movements for progressive social change.
