We will take action and advocate to protect freedom and equality for all by:
Aligning ourselves and leverage our efforts with a diversity of similar minded groups and organizations
Initiating and maintaining productive relationships with our local, state and national elected officials and their key staff members in order to advocate for equality legislation
Supporting voting access for all qualified citizens including disenfranchised felons

Promoting marriage equality legislation that is consistent on both a state and national level
Supporting Women’s reproductive health choices that protects family planning, contraception, pharmaceutically induced abortions, abortions up to the viability of the fetus, and protects healthcare professionals from criminal charges for carrying out their patient's healthcare decisions.
Condemning all hate acts and speech and call out elected officials who condone or refuse to condemn this behavior which could include racial, religious, ethnic or gender groups
Supporting state and national common sense firearm legislation that prohibits assault rifles, ghost guns, automatic conversion kits and requires background checks, purchase waiting periods, uniform red flag laws, an integrated gun registration database and allows government health agencies to study gun violence and related deaths.
Supporting substantial increase in funding for public education and elimination of school vouchers for private and religious schools
Thoughts on Equality
However, the trend within the last several years has been to try to eliminate or reduce the rights for certain segments of the population, who differ from the majority.
Rights and equality are the cornerstone of our democracy. During the past 150 years, we the people of the United States of America believed and worked toward in granting more rights to our citizens. However, the trend within the last several years has been to try to eliminate or reduce the rights for certain segments of the population, who differ from the majority.
The CRA group will continue work to help enforce and enhance equality legislation on based on age, disability, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, gender, and sexual orientation.
We will do this by participating in campaigns to contacting our local, state, and national elected officials to fight and support equality. Working with organizations assist on projects protect and enhance these rights of all.
In addition, we understand there is a growing number of incidences of gun violence in the United States, even to the point where other countries have placed us on “traveler watches” so their citizens can be cautious when travelling to the US. More than 45k people died of gun related injuries in 2020. Of these 54% were suicides and 45% were murders. The trend seems to be growing every year.
Civic Responsibility Alliance thinks there has to be a balanced approach for gun legislation and enhancing mental health resources to reduce deaths and injuries related to gun violence. This work must start by understanding each side of the issue and by working with organizations, congress, schools, and companies to develop an unbiased and common-sense approach.
Additionally, we must include providing quality public school education in this category. Education is crucial to building a more equitable society which provides a better life for the next generation. By working for better funding of our public schools and improving the educational system, we will provide a more equitable future all all.
