RI KIDS COUNT
@RIKidsCount
Rhode Island KIDS COUNT works to improve the health, safety, education, economic security, and development of RI’s children — with a core focus on equity.














Thank you to everyone who joined Raising RI Coalition kickoff, and to our speakers — Divya Nair, Paige Parks, Sen. Murry, Rep. Handy, Rep. Cruz, @weayonnoh, Jessica Vega, and Daijah Jaiman. Together, we’re working to strengthen RI Works and end deep child poverty.













WATCH US IN ACTION: On March 10, our Sr Policy Associate Kelsey Bala, MPH testified in strong support of the expanded use of Juvenile Hearing Boards (JHBs). JHBs provide a community-based option that diverts youth from formal court involvement. youtu.be/te-uzgaDdUo





Proud to testify before @rihouse Finance Committee last night in support of a new tax bracket for millionaires to generate needed new revenue to invest in child care and the Child Tax Credit, a proven strategy to help families with the high cost of raising children.
