The Boston Tea Party was primarily a protest against the Tea Act of 1773, which granted the British East India Company a monopoly on tea sales in the American colonies, effectively undercutting local merchants. Additionally, it was a reaction to the broader issue of "taxation without representation," as colonists were frustrated by being taxed by a Parliament in which they had no elected representatives. This act of defiance became a significant catalyst for the American Revolution.

No. They were two separate events at two different times. Neither had anything to do with the other. (wrong: the Boston tea party was because the British taxed the English tea and the Boston massacre was because soldiers and colonists were fighting over jobs and so the colonists were throwing bricks in snow and the British opened fire to what is believed to be today as accident - they're connected but I forget why, ask my middle school History teacher)

No one organized it. That is one of the great legends of our nation. What really happened was a group of people ( some may have been Sons of Liberty) were in one of the pubs and they were complaining about the tax on tea and the East Indian company. Some one suggested that they go dump the tea in the harbor, so they decided to meet at the docks. A few went home and dressed up as Indians and picked up a hatchet or two. They boarded 3 ships and threw the chests of tea overboard into Boston Harbor.
