Civic Engagement
Empowering veterans and first responders to engage in civic life, understand their rights, and advocate for their communities.
Our Voice. Their Agenda.
Once a year, Team RP meets with our legislators to lend our voices to matters that affect veterans, first responders, and their families in our region. We bring real stories, real concerns, and real solutions directly to those who write the laws that shape our community.
