Vision Statement
"We, The Coalition for The People's Agenda, look forward to the day when our governing bodies represent all the people of the community - particularly those individuals and groups that have been traditionally marginalized and historically underserved; when the culture in which we live, work, learn and play is socially and economically just; and when ALL peoples, regardless of age, color, disability, economic status, gender, national origin, religion or sexual orientation are treated with equality and fairness."
