More About Us
Elevating the voices of the community
Our Mission:
Manchester Community Action Coalition (MCAC) provides a safe space for the marginalized (Black, Brown, Indigenous, Immigrant, POC, Disability, LGBTQUIA+) community in NH to discuss, share, and discover needs within the community and co-create community-led solutions to advance racial justice with our most impacted community members. This is critically needed as marginalized community members in NH do not have equal opportunity or representation in community and civic matters. We aim to improve our lives as we organize ourselves to work together, create aunified agenda and solutions that promote the wellbeing, sense of belonging, dignity and justice for all. We are committed to advocating, researching, referring, and taking action to directly address the concerns and issues currently affecting our community.

Our Values:
Our vision is that people of color in Manchester, specifically our BIPOC youth, will have equal opportunity and representation in community and civic matters. Over time, we hope that communities of color will experience stronger community ties, children will be encouraged to achieve and succeed, and families of color will have equal social and economic opportunities. We envision a city of Manchester with more diversity, and a welcoming community that fully integrates all residents and builds a strong social fabric.
