The George Wiley Center coordinates the Rhode Island Campaign to Eliminate Childhood Poverty, which consists of eight chapters that regularly meet to plan and execute a variety of grassroots lobbying and non-violent protest tactics to create changes in local government and private institutions that will help eliminate poverty in their lives and in the lives of others in their community.
  All eight chapters gather for a statewide “leadership” meeting every six weeks. At this meeting, chapters report in and set the strategy for coordinated action on statewide issues.
  The next Leadership meeting is scheduled for Saturday, October 31st, 2009 from 9:00am - 11:00am at The George Wiley Center, 32 East Avenue, Pawtucket. The meeting is open to all members of the George Wiley Center. Call 728-5555 for information/agenda.
