We believe that our town is better than that. We are an educational and advocacy organization. Repeat offenders will be blocked.

Our mission is to move North Kingstown forward as a community that acknowledges its history, celebrates its potential, and fosters a climate honoring and encouraging diversity, equity and the unique character of all its residents through anti-racist policy reform, education and advocacy. There has been ample evidence, throughout our nation and even within our town, that people are too often judged and found to be wanting because of the color of their skin, because they practice a different faith, because of who they love, because of how they identify, because they are differently abled, and because of any other number of reasons that allow the uneducated voice or the malignant voice to single them out as lesser. We work to make North Kingstown a community that values every resident, and treats all with decency, honor and kindness. If you don’t like what we advocate, you are free not to visit our page, but we do not maintain this page as a space for hatred or animosity. We will not tolerate hate speech, racial or religious slurs, personal attacks on any individual or group designated by ethnicity, race, gender, or sexual orientation. We have a zero tolerance policy for concrete or implied threats of violence. We encourage posts by people that relate to the purpose of this page and we welcome constructive feedback.

The response to our first Community Connection box has been so wonderful that we've installed a second box at McGinn Park. You can find it on the path next to the playground near the entrance to the trails.

We're excited to bring this resource to another part of North Kingstown and hope it will help even more of our neighbors.

Both boxes are stocked with nonperishable food, personal care and hygiene items, and a few little things to bring some joy.

Take what you need, leave what you can. No questions asked.

Thank you to everyone who has helped make this initiative such a success. Neighbors helping neighbors is what it's all about!

We are looking for volunteers who would be willing to help keep the new box stocked and cared for. If you'd like to help, please reach out to us at [email protected].

In addition, we'd love your feedback! What items would you find helpful? What's working, and what could we do better?

What do community safety, education, climate action, economic justice, racial justice, and alternatives to war have in common?

They're all part of the conversation about building a more nonviolent world.

On December 12–13, we're bringing together practitioners and organizers working across these six areas for the 2026 Nonviolent Solutions Summit.

Over the coming weeks, we'll introduce you to the people joining these conversations and the approaches they're advancing.

But first, we want to hear from you! Which conversation are you most interested in joining, and why?

Tell us in the comments, and tag someone you'd want to bring along!

Registration is open through:

Halloween cultural appropriation is not limited to racial and ethnic groups; any marginalized community or subculture can be appropriated. And a holiday is not an excuse to perpetuate these stereotypes.

It’s been 480 days. We are calling on RIDE and OLIS to publish the model policies included in the Act so that the act can be implemented! https://steveahlquist.substack.com/p/15-months-after-passage-the-rhode?r=1yd83&utm_medium=ios

We're so grateful to Walmart for awarding TANK a $500 Spark Good grant to help keep our Community Connection Box stocked!

We want to make sure we're putting these funds to the best possible use, and we need your input.

What items would be most helpful to have in the box?
What's working well?
What isn't?
Are there things we're not currently stocking that would better meet the needs of our neighbors?

We've created a short feedback form to help us make thoughtful decisions about how to spend these funds and improve the Community Connection Box moving forward.

Whether you've used the box, donated supplies, or simply have suggestions, we'd love to hear from you!

Please take a minute to share your thoughts:

We want to make sure the Community Connection Box is providing the things our neighbors actually need. Your feedback will help us do that!
