As a local grassroots organization, a central tenet of Power Up’s mission is community engagement.

 We recognize that the way to move forward and create real, sustainable change is by caring for and protecting our own communities. This starts by creating connections and networks within our town.

In order to foster community engagement and relationships, we have hosted a multitude of community events that aim to bring members of Manchester and outer towns together to collectively fight for justice and liberation. 

Some past community events include: 

Juneteenth Celebration
