The Mission
At RBAC we have multiple programs and projects, and they all relate to these three goals:
- Implement the Rainier Beach Neighborhood Plan and build a connected, sustainable and equitable community within the Rainier Beach neighborhood.
- Promote the “made in Rainier Beach”, quality education, living wage jobs, affordable transportation and housing for all.
- Promote a safe place where people thrive, a neighborhood the world calls home.
The History
Rainier Beach Action Coalition is a result of a merger, in 2015, between Rainier Beach Community Empowerment Coalition and Rainier Beach Moving Forward out of a desire to increase capacity for the neighborhood.
Some things RBAC has done over the years:
- TownHall Events
- Back2School Bash Events
- Corner Greeter Activations
- And so much more!!!
RBAC is now a grass roots neighborhood development action coalition devoted to implementing neighborhood responsive renewal and development, focusing specifically on the implementation of the Rainier Beach Neighborhood Plan Update (1997, 2012).
