The Merrimack Valley Project [MVP] is a non- partisan, non-profit, non-denominational, tax- exempt organization of 30 congregations, labor unions, and community groups representing over 20,000 people who reflect the diversity and hopes of all who live in the Merrimack Valley in northeast Massachusetts.
We work to build deeper ties among our communities and to address issues that negatively affect the quality of life for all our residents. For more information, please contact the office at (978) 686-0650 or EMAIL.

--- What MVP Has Been Doing - 2022/2023 ---
Immigrant Justice Campaigns - MVP leaders have led the way in calling for immigrant justice throughout the region.
Substance Use Disorder & Criminal Justice Campaign – A successful 15-month pilot program that helped bring over 400 individuals to treatment.
Worker Justice/Voter Engagement - As the regional lead of the Raise Up MA coalition, MVP has continued to be the leading advocate for worker justice in the Merrimack Valley.
Community organizing and mobilizing - MVP has been working with religious, labor and community leaders to create a culture where everyone’s voice is heard, regardless of their language, culture, or economic background. We have especially reached out to those struggling with specific challenges, such as low wages, immigration status, or addiction.
