Northeast Kingdom Organizing

NEKO is a coalition of individuals, families, faith and community-based organizations that come together to organize and advocate for economic, social, and environmental justice for the people and the places of Vermont’s Northeast Kingdom. We do this by embracing the concepts and practices of community organizing and centering the voices of NEK residents often ignored in decisions about their communities.

We practice a three-stage theory of change:

1

We use popular education tools like storytelling to center the voices of NEK residents impacted by injustice.

2

We build relationships for political power and a Just Transition of the Northeast Kingdom.

3

We organize, analyze power, and take action together to fight for equity for all people.
