There are many areas where zoning can impact our environment; from the implementation or preservation of green spaces to walking and biking infrastructure to green building codes. And just as there are many ways zoning shapes our communities, there are many ways to make an impact, like stepping up to serve in local office where these decisions are made.

Discussions about zoning reform often center on allowing a wider range of housing options, often called “housing diversity,” to help expand overall supply. This can include smaller homes, duplexes and multifamily buildings, accessory dwelling units, and manufactured homes.

New Hampshire has 221 towns, and they all hold elections for their town governments every year. But what even gets decided at the town level? Why do we care about town offices when there’s so much to be done at the state level?

When decisions about our lives are made by people who don’t share our experiences, the results are policies that fail us or worse… actively harm us. 

For voters in NH, the path to the ballot box looks different this year. New voting rules mean it’s more important than ever to plan ahead, know your rights, and be prepared before Election Day.

This fall, 12 of New Hampshire’s 13 cities will hold municipal elections for important local positions like mayor, aldermen, city councilors, school board, local election officials and more.

Today’s legislature doesn’t reflect the full diversity of New Hampshire, especially younger people, working families, and traditionally underrepresented communities. Reform means breaking down barriers that keep people from running, serving, or even engaging in the process.

Let's be clear: There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud. Why then are the majorities in the State House passing bills to tackle a non-existent problem? SB287, currently on its way to the Governor's desk, is such a bill seeking to solve a problem that doesn't exist and needs to be vetoed.

New Hampshire’s newly passed biennial budget for Fiscal Years 2026 and 2027 includes some high-profile investments in public safety retirements and school aid, but buried within the final package are major losses that could profoundly impact working families, students, and vulnerable communities across the state.

Every year, hundreds of important local positions are filled not by election, but by appointment. If you’ve ever thought about getting involved and making a real impact in your community, serving on a local board, commission, or committee might be the perfect place to start, and no campaign signs required. 

Budgets reflect who we are and what we stand for. Let’s make sure this one reflects the values of all Granite Staters—not just the privileged few.

The SAVE Act is basically a national version of HB1569, and we’re already seeing how that's playing out in NH: confusion, barriers, and eligible being voters turned away.

We are here to help you think critically, act purposefully, and engage with the issues that matter most to you. Let’s move forward together and create lasting change in the Granite State.
