Application

Ocean State Action believes in a strong and active state government that reflects the fact that we are all part of one community. We fight for a Rhode Island that cares for its children and families; that preserves our environment; that stands up for civil rights for all; that respects working people and values the work that they do; and that is fundamentally fair in how residents both pay for and receive services. We are looking for new leaders that bring a new voice to these values. Please describe your desire to work with those in the progressive movement based on the values described.

Please outline what you believe is the most important issue facing Rhode Island today? Why?
