Granite State Organizing Project

Nice feature in the New Hampshire Union Leader (apologies for the grainy screenshot of the paper itself) about Sarah Jane stepping away into new adventures and Janet Groat stepping into the shoes of Executive Director!

And more here from our website:

Ms. Groat is an experienced organizer, policy advocate, communicator and executive director. From 2017-24, she was the Organizing Manager at Mothers Out Front in Massachusetts, where she trained and coached hundreds of volunteers on how to design and win campaigns for climate justice. She enjoys coaching teams and individuals as they step into “good trouble” – meaning, as they work together to build power to make concrete changes in their communities.

In New Hampshire, she has worked with the Investing in Communities Initiative, NH Community Loan Fund and NH Women’s Lobby. She has a Master’s degree from Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government and has taught classes on nonprofit organizational management at Southern New Hampshire University. Janet lives in Portsmouth with her husband and their 18-year-old son.

The GSOP thanked the outgoing Executive Director, Sarah Jane Knoy, and outgoing Board President Marsha Feder for their years of service to the community, as the delegates elected a new Board President, Rev. Jason Wells of St. Matthews’ Church in Goffstown.

Bishop Royster encouraged the diverse crowd to activate their imaginations and work toward a vision of the world as it should be – safe, welcoming and affordable for all – as the GSOP continues its work of pushing back against authoritarianism and hate.


Faith in Action

Juneteenth is at risk: a celebration that has existed for African Americans since the 1800s has come under attack. Governments, both local and national, denying its place as a holiday. If you believe that freedom should be celebrated, join us on Juneteenth to be more joyous and celebratory than ever before.

What a great way to build community and take in a global spectacle like the World Cup!
