About

Northampton, like most cities and towns, faces a fiscal crisis, which creates a crisis in education. These crises have been intensified by lack of funding for basic human and social services. We need to rework our tax structure to fund essential services like education. We cannot solve our local problems without addressing state and federal elected officials.

NEAT is an ever-growing group of parents, staff and interested citizens who are organizing around budgets and taxes for public education. We want to stop the cuts, cut corporate tax loopholes and build a solid base to fund education. We work with other groups across the state who are seeking similar goals.


Our Mission

NEAT is an organization of parents and other interested Northampton residents who are committed to funding public education through:

1. organizing for fair taxation;
2. lobbying for political action at the local, state and federal levels; and
3. mobilizing other like-minded people and groups across the state.
