About Us
No Billionaire’s Playground: RFK for the Community is a coalition of RFK neighbors, other residents, and organizations committed to economic and environmental justice who want the RFK campus to be used to benefit all District of Columbia residents, with a wide array of uses that enrich our community.
Our name comes from a Kingman Park resident who responded to a community survey over the future of RFK, who said they don’t want the space to be turned into a “billionaire’s playground.”
We are led by a committee that includes:
John Capozzi
Jayme Epstein
Ed Lazere
Audrey Miller Hallett
Lora Nunn
Mo Pasternak
Ebony Payne
Alison Schwartz
Nick Sementelli
