Policy Agenda 

Meeting Basic Needs: We have a shared responsibility for ensuring that all Rhode Islanders have adequate food, housing, health care and other basic needs.

A Skilled Workforce: Increasing the skills of our workforce is vital to strengthening our economy and enabling Rhode Islanders to support themselves and their families.

Human Services: A strong community ensures that children are safe and can maximize their potential, and that seniors and people with disabilities can live and work in their communities with dignity.  

A Sound Tax Structure: We must raise adequate revenue for vital public services in the fairest possible way.
