We are a community organizing agency committed to changing public policies that keep people in poverty.

Issues we are currently working on:

1. An affordable energy plan for low-income, disabled and elderly Rhode Islanders.
2. A realistic arrearage plan for low-income utility customers.
3. Increasing protection from utility shut-offs to households with children under 6 years of age.
4. Defending and ensuring the right of appeal for people who have had their utilities shut off.
5. A simplified Food Stamp application and recertification process with an increase in DHS personnel to reach the 44% of eligible people currently not receiving benefits.
6. Universal free breakfast in all school districts.
7. Increasing the refundable portion of the RI state earned income tax credit to benefit 44,000 low income families.
