WHO IS MPA?
Maine People’s Alliance (MPA) is a grassroots organization whose mission is to create a world where everyone has what they need, contributes what they can, and no one is left behind. By forming a community with people from all walks of life, we build power, inspire new leaders, heal divisions—particularly across lines of race—and win campaigns that change what is politically possible.
Why is door-to-door canvassing so important?
Field Organizers canvass, develop, and engage people where they are: at their door, in their community. They are often the first introduction people have to our organization. The Field Team's operations motivate and empower both new and current members to become more involved in creating political change in our communities - together.
