National People’s Action (NPA) is a left-wing community organizing network with state-level affiliates that partners with labor unions and left-wing activists to advance left-wing economic policies. Headquartered in Chicago, NPA was founded in 1972 by Austin neighborhood activist Gale Cincotta and professional organizer Shel Trapp. ==History== Founded in 1972 by Cincotta and Trapp, NPA pushed for federal housing legislation including the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, the Community Reinvestment Act of 1977, and the National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. For many years Cincotta and Trapp offered training to its affiliates through their National Training and Information Center (NTIC). NPA survived the retirement of Trapp and the death of Cincotta in 2001, but refocused its efforts on legislative lobbying and direct action, de-emphasizing the training programs once offered through NTIC. In the mid-2000s, NPA leadership was embroiled in a scandal involving the misapplication of federal funds that NTIC had received. Then-executive director Joseph W. Mariano pleaded guilty to federal charges in 2008, and NPA itself settled civil actions brought by the United States Department of Justice. George Goehl has been the executive director since 2008.
