ABOUT MOBE
Metro Cover

Boston Mobilization (MOBE) has been an active part of
the Greater Boston peace and justice movement since
its inception in 1977 as a local chapter of the nation-wide anti-nuclear organization Mobilization for Survival. To learn more about our current programs, like Sub/Urban Justice and the Speak Up! Project check out the tabs at left!
A bit of history: From 1999-2000, Mobilization led the Campaign for the Iraqi People, which included a successful international media campaign against UN sanctions on Iraq. In 2001, MOBE organized BU students into BUYAH, the Boston University Youth Alliance for Affordable Housing, and helped the Save Fenway campaign against Kenmore gentrification.

Boston Mobilization is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
For more information, please contact Boston Mobilization. Thank you for your support.
