Building lasting people power in New Hampshire.
Organizing is about more than winning one campaign or one election. It is about bringing people together, developing leaders, and building the collective power needed to create lasting change.
New Hampshire should work for the many, not only the wealthy few.
We bring Granite Staters together across race, class, age, geography, ability, immigration status, gender, sexuality, and background to build a state where everyone can live with dignity and help shape the decisions that affect their lives.
Our challenges are connected.
People experience these challenges in different ways, but their root causes often lead back to the same imbalance of political and economic power.
The issues affecting our lives do not exist in isolation.
Healthcare, housing, education, taxes, human rights, democracy, and climate are deeply connected. Progress in one area strengthens our ability to win progress in the others.
The problems facing our communities are not inevitable.
They are the result of political choices about who pays, who benefits, whose voices matter, and what our public institutions are designed to protect.
Organized people can make different choices together.
By building relationships, developing leaders, acting collectively, and contesting for governing power, we can change the rules and create something better.
Our seven organizing pillars
These pillars describe the long-term vision that guides RAD-NH's organizing, campaigns, political education, leadership development, and electoral work.
Healthcare for All

Every person deserves dignity, safety, freedom, equal protection, and the ability to live openly in their community.

Learn morePlanet Over Profit
Healthy communities require clean air, clean water, affordable energy, resilient infrastructure, and a livable future for the generations that follow us.
From listening to governing power
Lasting change begins with conversations. Those conversations become relationships, leaders, organized communities, successful campaigns, and the power to govern together.
Listen
We begin by listening to people's stories, concerns, hopes, experiences, and values.
Build Relationships
Trust grows through one-to-one conversations, shared experiences, consistent follow-up, and acting together.
Develop Leaders
Members gain the confidence, skills, relationships, and opportunities needed to organize and lead others.
Organize
Local organizing teams take sustained collective action in communities across New Hampshire.
Win Change
Issue campaigns, elections, public action, and advocacy shift decisions and power toward everyday people.
Govern Together
Communities continue organizing after elections, hold leaders accountable, and help shape the decisions that affect their lives.
Lasting solutions require a shared strategy.
None of these challenges can be solved in isolation because each one affects the conditions people need to live, thrive, and participate in democracy.
Housing affects health.
Safe, stable housing is a foundation for physical health, mental health, family stability, and dignity.
Taxes affect education.
An unfair revenue system pushes costs onto local communities and prevents schools from receiving the funding they need.
Rights affect solidarity.
Divide-and-conquer politics weakens working people and prevents communities from acting together.
Democracy affects everything.
Lasting change is difficult when corporations and wealthy interests have more governing power than organized people.
Our struggles are connected. Our organizing must be connected, too.

Healthcare is treated as a human right.
Everyone can afford a safe and stable home.
