RNRA has published public safety recommendations in the form of a survey, to give people the opportunity to express support or opposition and to submit other ideas. The results will be posted and shared with City, County, and State Officials. We encourage everyone who loves this city to participate.
For 25 years, RNRA has fought to protect quality of life in our community. Like many non-profits, RNRA has been severely impacted by recent events and has launched an urgent fundraising appeal. If you value principled & effective neighborhood advocacy, please support RNRA with a donation by visiting our GoFundMe page.
Thank you.
