Red Line Who We Are
Northeast Action has won national recognition for fostering a strong, cohesive and diverse progressive movement in the Northeast by building and sustaining a series of vibrant state-level grassroots organizations and coalitions. By joining together in common purpose, we are building a powerful and effective grassroots movement for economic, social and environmental justice.

Our affiliated organizations include some of the most effective membership-based action groups and innovative statewide coalitions in the country: Connecticut Citizen Action Group, Maine People's Alliance, New Hampshire Citizens Alliance, Citizen Action of New York, and Ocean State Action in Rhode Island. These groups bring together over 200 labor unions, civil and immigrant rights groups, environmental organizations, organizations of low and moderate-income citizens, women's groups, and gay and lesbian organizations to develop coordinated campaigns on key issues.

The work of Northeast Action and our affiliated organizations is inspired by a vision of a participatory society, based on principles of social, economic, and racial justice, in which democracy and collective action are encouraged, and many more people are involved in the decisions that shape their lives. To make this vision a reality our affiliates:

  • build lasting organizations that serve as vehicles for large numbers of people to participate in politics at the grassroots level;
  • craft credible policy alternatives that take into account the reality of people’s everyday lives and, in so doing, redefine the nation’s economic and political agenda; and
  • develop and nurture new leaders, preparing them to assume major new roles in public life.
Our affiliates are involved in a wide variety of issue campaigns, including election reform, health care, immigrant rights, environmental justice, fair credit, and federal priorities.
