SOMA Community Coalition on Race, Maplewood, NJ

Member Since: March 20, 2014
Maplewood, New Jersey
The South Orange/Maplewood Community Coalition on Race is a nationally recognized non-profit organization committed to building a unique, suburban community that is free of racial segregation in housing patterns and community involvement.  The Coalition was founded in 1996 by a diverse group of citizens concerned about stagnating property values and a perceived decline in the quality of local public schools.  Over our sixteen years, we have developed programs that promote the advantages of living in a racially inclusive community where all aspects of community life are integrated.

The organization is run by a volunteer, racially representative Board of Trustees that includes ex officio representatives from both municipalities.  The Trustees chair seven committees staffed by community volunteers of varied races, faiths, and economic backgrounds who have an expressed commitment to achieving and sustaining the benefits of a thriving, racially integrated and truly inclusive community. Our programs and activities serve all the residents of our two towns as well as surrounding communities that seek our support and advice on intentional integration strategies.
