Sarah Jane Knoy, Executive Director of Granite State Organizing Project, will join us to discuss how military spending both prevents meaningful infrastructure development to end poverty and also how it drives more people to leave their homes and try to migrate to the US. She will focus on how this excessive spending impacts us locally.

Sarah Jane Knoy has been the Executive Director of GSOP since 2007. She has more than 30 years of experience working with communities in Indianapolis, Chicago, Nashua and Manchester. Her experience using faith rooted organizing in these communities relies on listening sessions to build trust and accountability across lines of potential division. These relationships built upon shared values become the ground from which authentic community and lasting change can grow.

GSOP was founded in 2002 by religious congregations, labor union members and community leaders in southern New Hampshire for the purpose of building the power necessary to create lasting social and economic justice in the region, primarily in south central New Hampshire. Now, they are a non-profit, non-partisan organization rooted in faith and democratic values. As the largest grassroots community organization in New Hampshire, we are made up of thousands of members, including 27 member groups representing thousands of New Hampshire families.
