Who We Are
We are community influencers taking action.
Operating from the perspective of, “It takes a Village,” and with the mindset that “Those closest to the problem have the solutions,” Residents in Action, Inc. acts as a trusted resource with the lived experience and connections to authentically engage the people that we live, work and play with daily. RiA members and partners are committed to progress the community by supporting each other, working together, strategically, collaboratively, and efficiently to dismantle the systems that perpetuate racial inequity. We aim to successfully brainstorm, plan, implement and execute strategies led by residents (the people) to lift up, our community and one another; we advocate for and promote grassroots initiatives and take collective action to challenge the status quo and to positively impact outcomes.
