This was a non-partisan online initiative in 2020 to build connections and take joint action to address community challenges across distance and difference in Pennsylvania.

A non-partisan civic participation program that brought together community members in Adams, Dauphin, Franklin, and York counties across political, racial, generational, geographic, and other differences to address causes of targeted violence and reduce the risks in their communities.

UR Action partnered with Georgetown University in DC and Wilson College in Franklin County, PA from 2019-2021. Students worked with community organizations in both communities to address food insecurity and food waste.

UR Action’s first Uniting for Action program brought together residents of Franklin County and residents of Washington DC from different sides of the gun control / gun rights issues to find common ground and take action for safety and violence prevention.
