Maine People's Alliance

We are known for our ability to do grassroots organizing and education that reaches more than 100,000 Mainers each year with direct personal contact and quality leadership development work that has yielded dozens of leaders and staff for MPA and other organizations. MPA was founded in 1982 (and officially incorporated in 1983) in the Lewiston/Auburn area with a focus on housing, rent and utility rate reform issues. In 1984, our sister organization, the Maine People’s Resource Center, was created.

MPA works on a number of issues such as healthcare, affordable housing, the environment, affordable education, immigration, worker’s rights, economic justice, racial justice, and democracy.
