Through 2008, the Roundtable worked in partnership with the Washington Regional Equity Network.  Don Edwards of Justice & Sustainability Associates spearheaded WREN which included nearly 100 primarily community-based service providers and advocacy organizations in Greater Washington. With the goal of creating greater economic and social equity across the region, WREN brought together affordable housing, community development, environmental, and other advocates to address regional growth, sprawl, displacement and the cost of living. WREN was part of the Washington 2050 Compact, an initiative of the Council of Governments.
