About RMAPI
RMAPI Is A Community
We are fighting poverty in a meaningful way. RMAPI has brought together a coalition of willing organizations and individuals from all sectors working together to change the systems that create and perpetuate poverty.
The RMAPI Steering Committee directs RMAPI’s anti-poverty work and ensures that all work adheres to our guiding principles.
Our guiding principles establish a framework for decision-making and collaboration. In our community, we must emphasize and center racial equity, address collective trauma, and revitalize neighborhoods. We plan on accomplishing this by:
