Massachusetts Communities Action Network (MCAN) is the federation of our Massachusetts affiliated organizations taking action together on statewide issues. The Organizing and Leadership Training Center (OLTC) provides support to community organizations in New England states. We are a federation of community improvement organizations working for social and economic justice by putting our religious faith values and our democratic values into action. The organizations focus on leadership development as the key to building large scale involvement which gives the organizations the “people power” to gain support for their proposals for solving community and work problems.

Missourians Organizing for Reform and Empowerment (MORE) believes that Missouri is positioned at a unique intersection of social, economic and environmental injustice. We believe that as corporate power continues unabated expansion and the gap between the rich and the poor widens, there has never been a better time for our low-income communities to come together and fight back. MORE seeks to be a powerful organization of low- and moderate-income people, building strength in our communities. We work in relationship with other organizations pushing our allies to engage in creative direct action with us to foster good policy changes. MORE seeks to be part of a movement that cuts across, class, age and race lines that is envisioning and building the world in which we would like to live.
