Merrimack Valley Project

Founded in 1989, Merrimack Valley Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on uniting congregations, unions, and community groups in organizing leaders and campaigns for racial, social and economic justice in the Merrimack Valley region and beyond. Our organizing approach includes storytelling, relationship building, and training to develop the power of community leaders. Most recently, these have included preventing the closure of Holy Family Hospitals in Haverhill and Methuen, and playing a critical role in successful statewide campaigns to increase the state minimum wage, protecting rideshare drivers, and winning passage of the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights.

Today, MVP has grown to over 35+ member groups across the region and beyond. MVP places a strong emphasis on developing the capacity of faith communities to act on their commitments to social justice, and is part of a growing faith-and-values-based organizing movement in America. We are proudly an affiliate member of Massachusetts Communities Action Network (MCAN), a statewide network of faith-and values-based community organizations working for economic and racial justice.
