Every single win deserves a round of applause — and so do you! Winning takes more than good ideas. It takes reliable data, strong community partnerships, and steady advocacy at the State House — and that winning combination only happens because of generous supporters like you!
So far this year, Rhode Island KIDS COUNT has:
- Led major coalitions, including the Right from the Start Campaign, the Raising RI Coalition, the Anti-Racist Education Policy Collaborative, and the RI Afterschool Network Policy and Advocacy Committee.
- Trained youth and parents — in English and Spanish — to understand data and speak up for their own communities.
- Organized press conferences and advocacy days so families could talk directly with their elected officials.
- Gave testimony more than 200 times at the State House this session.
- Been cited in 50 statewide media stories so far this year.
- Welcomed over 22,500 visits to rikidscount.org.
These victories require your investment and strategic and effective advocacy that brings together data and community.
This is what it takes to build trust, give families a voice, and build lasting power for kids — and it is worth celebrating! Rhode Island's children will need us to keep going, and to be even stronger.
