Program/Service Notes:
The Alliance to Develop Power, (formerly Anti–Displacement Project) based in the three counties of Western Massachusetts, has undertaken a set of bold initiatives in community organizing, civic engagement, cooperative economic development, and community building activities. ADP has instituted a model that prioritizes leadership development, cooperative principles, and moving a membership into action, while simultaneously winning major policy reforms, preserving thousands of units of housing, developing community-owned businesses, and operating the region’s only membership based low wage and immigrant worker center affiliated with the local and national AFL–CIO. ADP’s work to establish and promote cooperative economic development and civic engagement is a vehicle to bridge these gaps: * to provide low income people with basic necessities through institutions that they own and direct; * to foster a sense of responsibility for others in a community focused on building its power; * and to serve as a mediating institution for the thousands of people whose poverty cuts them off from civic life.
