About

We believe education is a fundamental right.

Our mission is to empower communities to harness their collective power to transform Rhode Island’s education system, ensuring it serves all children in our state – regardless of their background or zip code.

"We must challenge the status quo in Rhode Island. Too many of our students -especially our Black and brown students - are being left behind."

-Victor Capellan

Statistics show students who are not reading at grade level by the third grade will struggle academically and are four times more likely to drop out of high school than their proficient peers.

Our education system is failing our kids. We are determined to change it.
