Rhode Island's under-represented people.

Our mission is “to build a community that addresses human needs and redresses injustices.” We have a special focus on food and energy insecurity issues in Rhode Island.


Our efforts have lead to the nation's strongest utility protections for children. Rhode Island's new law forbids utility shut-offs year-round for financial reasons in the households where children 24 months old or under reside.
