ROME REGION UNITED
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
~Fred Rogers
“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
Our Mission.
Rome Region United is a community-based organization formed to meet the needs of our neighbors and community by filling in any gaps left, or expected to be created, by unresponsive governance. We are choosing reason over rhetoric, participation over partisanship, and compassion over callousness.
Our People.
We’re neighbors with different backgrounds and beliefs united by one idea: the People are their communities. We’re rebuilding trust, power, and connection from the ground up, right here at home. So whether you are a worker, small business owner, politician, student, activist, or literally anyone else, Rome Region United has a place for helpers.
Our Upcoming Events.
How can you help?
We need you! We need your skills, your voice, and your presence. Whether you have five hours a week or five minutes a month, there’s a place for you in this movement. We welcome all backgrounds, all experience levels, and all types of support: food, supplies, and yes, money. We’re building something real together, and that takes participation, persistence, and patience. Rome wasn’t built in a day. It’s being built every day, by people like you.
