REDEFINING OUR COMMUNITY

Redefining Our Community (ROC) is an organization of dedicated residents from various streets within the Dorchester community who are committed to putting the "neighbor" back in neighborhood. Working alongside our city and state officials, we fight for affordable home ownership, affordable commercial space for business owners and more green space to keep our community beautiful... We do not tolerate any negative stereotypes or misconceptions associated with the community because we love where we live! Too often, through word of mouth and negative media, Dorchester can be stigmatized as an unsafe place, lacking beauty and goodness. However, our mission is to redefine that falsehood! ROC will not allow those who live outside our vibrant community to speak for and/or define us. We care about where we live and we have our own story that we intend to tell!
