Montana Peoples Action (MPA) is a socially and racially diverse organization of low to moderate income Montanans. Montana Peoples Action is a statewide citizen action organization with a membership of over 5,000 low and moderate income individuals and families. MPA empowers its members to achieve lasting change for social, economic, and racial justice using direct action. Members participate through geographic or issue oriented local chapters. Since MPA's birth in 1983, its members have demonstrated a consistent ability to mobilize their peers to educate decision makers, and secure their demands.
Dream Fund Project
The Dream Funded supported Montana People's Action (MPA) efforts to build long-term working collaboratives between urban Indians, the ten representatives of the Montana-Wyoming Tribal Leaders Council and the low income members of Montana People's Action to address, improve, and ensure that affirmative action laws are not overturned. Traditionally the three groups did not work together and as such, had been manipulated by decision makers to work against each other in ways that resulted in further division based on race and economic status. In addition, MPA received support to educate others in the wider community on the root causes of inequitable treatment based on color and economic status.
