EPI Policy and Budget Conference – Supporting Immigrants in Rhode Island

Thank you to all of who you participated in our 11th annual policy and budget conference on Friday, May 3! We were pleased to have been joined by state agency leaders, community providers, sponsors and more for a robust conversation on how we can better support immigrant families and individuals who are threatened by recent federal immigration policies. Please find materials, photos, videos and press from the event below. Let’s keep the conversation going on how to ensure all immigrants feel safe accessing the services they need to be healthy and productive members in their communities.
