GW Roosevelt is a proud and active member of in The DC Initiative on Racial Equity and Local Government, a coalition of DC-based community advocacy organizations fighting to ensure racial equality for all DC residents. The DC Initiative is supporting a robust version of the Racial Equity Achieves Results or REACH Act (previously called the REAR Act).
