National People’s Action (NPA)

NPA is a national organization and affiliate network with a mission to advance racial and economic justice in the United States.

NPA is grounded in the leadership of everyday people — poor, working and middle class families; multi-racial, African American, Latino, White; immigrants and citizens; with youth leaders in middle school all the way to seniors deep into their retirement. NPA builds and strengthens affiliate organizations so that these grassroots leaders have a seat at the table in today’s most pressing policy debates, from immigration to financial reform, from progressive taxation to corporate accountability.
