Kids don't earn an income. So why do our policies keep poor children in poverty?? Join us for the Raising RI Annual Kickoff on March 13! We're working to give families tools to work their way out of poverty -- and stay out.

We stand strong with Coalition for a Multilingual RI and all of its members against the recent Executive Order targeting non-English languages. Link to full statement: bit.ly/4hgnPhv #MultilingualRI #LinguisticJustice #CMRI

The Raising RI Annual Kickoff is NEXT WEEK! 📅 Join us Thursday, March 13 at 3PM at the RI State House Library to fight for much-needed reforms to RI Works. 💰 Higher benefits 👶 More child support 🏡 Support for immigrant families 💵 Baby Bonds for kids’ futures #RaisingRI

Yesterday was a reminder of why the Raising RI coalition fights. Families in RI Works deserve better. Raising the monthly cash benefit—at zero cost to the state—will help children and parents meet their basic needs. Lawmakers must act now to make this happen.
