Build gateway now coalition - rpa launched the build gateway now coalition over five years ago, bringing together over 40 civic, business and labor partners to support the nation's most critical infrastructure project: the gateway program. Through original research, communication efforts (social media, op/eds, digital public engagement tools, regular contact with the media), advocacy efforts (testifying at gateway development commission board meetings, hosting press conferences and other rallies), our coalition has helped move the project along and made it clear in the public eye that the gateway program must be built.

Desegregate connecticut - founded in 2020, desegregatect has been a program of rpa since february 2022 and is dedicated to enacting land use reform at the local and state level in connecticut to encourage economic growth, racial equity, and environmental sustainability.
