Granite State Organizing Project

Who we are:

GSOP is NH’s largest non-partisan, multi-faith, multi-racial community organization. We work to place human dignity at the center of public life by uniting faith communities, tenant associations, labor unions, other organizations, and individuals. Working together, GSOP and its community strengthen granite staters’ ability to address the issues affecting their lives. GSOP is a vehicle for congregations, people of faith and all who desire positive change to act collectively and powerfully towards racial and economic equity and justice in NH.

What we do:

The shared values of our diverse faiths drive us to organize for a better world for our children and our children’s children. GSOP communities organize to create a society where everyone, whether Black, Brown or White, can thrive, without exception.

GSOP supports the Immigrant Solidarity Network as it stands in support of our immigrant siblings, and pursues humane immigration policy.

Why we do it:

We desire a world where all people live a life of dignity, one where all people have the freedom, the ability, and the right to flourish physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
