Working for Social Justice in MetroWest Massachusetts

And what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.

Micah 6:8

MICAH is a faith-based congregation-based community organization that works to build power to improve the community. We have worked to site a community health center in Framingham, helped enact the Massachusetts new universal health care law, register low-income voters, and recently worked on the Vote No on Question 1 campaign.

In 2009, MICAH organzied hundreds of people to encourage our state legislators to eliminate a 100 year-old tax loophole on telephone poles and to pass a local option tax on restaurant meals and hotel and motel rooms.  These bills passed, providing millions of dollars in new revenue to our hard-pressed towns in Metrowest.

MICAH is a non-partisan organization that does not endorse candidates for public office and welcomes people from all backgrounds, faiths and points of view.  We are part of the Mass Community Action Network and the PICO National Network.
