The Cambridge Residents Alliance is committed to preserving and promoting the livable, affordable, and diverse Cambridge community. We are for the development that benefits communities, not tears them apart; development that contributes to the social, economic, political and cultural progress of people; and for development that affirms the right of people to shape their communities and destinies. We work to increase public participation in governance and policy-making at the neighborhood level and citywide through education, organizing and impacting elected officials.
