Policy for the People
Policy for the People is a detailed but approachable educational series for anyone who wants to understand the state of local food policy better, how it relates to what’s happening on a national and global scale, key issues that affect changes, and how you can get involved in building a more just and resilient food system for everyone in the Ocean State.
No prior policy or advocacy experience is needed. All are welcome!
