Mission Statement
MGA is concerned about the negative impact of corporate globalization particularly on Massachusetts and its communities. It seeks to deepen participation and democratic involvement in the key institutions that impact our lives, livelihoods and environment.
MGA believes that enduring positive social change is made when ordinary people find ways to challenge and engage the broad public and powerful institutions with ideas and actions that embrace the majority of humanity and its interests.
This ambitious perspective requires that MGA (i) prioritizes strategies that network diverse organizations and efforts and (ii) engages in carefully chosen campaigns and projects that identify problems, their root causes, potential solutions, and opportunities for democratic participation and redress.
Description
Our organization networks non-profits and community organizations on issues such as peace organizing, pro-immigrant and workers' rights advocacy, and the World Social Forum process. We specialize in linking diverse movements concerned about health, environment, livelihoods and social justice.
