Massachusetts Voter Table
Template:TOCnestleft Massachusetts Voter Table was formed in 2011 to build power among the “New American Majority” – people of color, working-class communities, young people, and new citizens.
As a coalition of community-based organizations led by this New American Majority, we increase civic engagement in communities of color, low-income people, and youth to advance an economic and racial justice agenda in Massachusetts.
Together, from 2011 to 2015 we’ve reached out to over 600,000 voters from Lynn to Springfield to Brockton to Boston. We have trained over 500 grassroots leaders and have influenced all levels of government, from municipal to federal. MVT partners made collective decisions on participating and supporting key local and statewide campaigns, such as the Community Preservation Act.
The MVT is part of the State Voices National Network.[1]
