According to an article on the meeting in the Star Ledger: "...the coalition wants to abolish Regional Contribution Agreements, or RCAs, which suburbs use to transfer their housing obligations to cities. "RCAs promote segregation," said Rohn Hein ... speaking before the event. "Rich communities are selling their obligations to poorer communities." ... "Inequalities and injustices are causing thousands of families to flee New Jersey," said the Rev. Charles Stevens of the Unitarian Universalist Church at Washington Crossing."
