GSOP Chapters
The Granite State Organizing Project has chapters across the state. Each chapter focuses on issues that are important to their local community. Although every chapter may be working on different issues, they are all under the umbrella of GSOP, share GSOP’s values, and follow GSOP’s community organizing model.
