About Us

Mass Alliance is a 501c4 coalition of advocacy organizations and unions, working together to build a progressive Massachusetts by developing progressive leaders and electing them to local office.  Together, Mass Alliance and its members are building a movement of shared values. This cooperation enhances our ability to build progressive power.

Mass Alliance’s goal is to bring together advocacy organizations and unions to build a progressive Massachusetts. We do this by identifying emerging community organizers at the local and municipal level so that we can provide them with the training, tools, and support to grow into progressive leaders.
