MOP - Metro Organizations for People

UPCOMING EVENTS An Organization of Hope MOP is Building an Organization of Hope in Metro Denver Many people are concerned about the rise in community isolation, lack of involvement in the democratic process, decline of trust among neighbors, and the decline in civic engagement in our society. The members and staff of Metro Organizations for People feel we have a critical contribution to make toward reversing these trends. In association with the PICO network we have developed, through our 25 year history, an organizing model that engages large numbers of church, school, and community members in work that builds community, develops new community leaders, creates hope, and teaches people ways to powerfully engage the civic and democratic process. Acting from a foundation of democratic Judeo-Christian values, we are building a regional community organization capable of impacting issues from the local neighborhood to city, regional and statewide arenas.

MOP, as a member of PICO, is a non-partisan organization that does not support, endorse or oppose candidates or political parties. Neither MOP nor PICO is aligned with any political party and works with Republicans, Democrats and Independents to promote policies that strengthen families and improve quality of life in communities. We encourage people of faith to consult and study the policy positions and teachings of their own faith traditions on health care and other important issues.
