ABOUT THE EVENT
You don't have to be a politician to run for office.
Rent is up. Wages haven't kept up. Childcare is out of reach for too many families. And the people making decisions about your community don't always understand what it costs to live here.
On April 28, Affordable RI and Cranston Forward are hosting a free event for Cranston residents who are ready to do something about it. Whether you want to run for office or just want to meet neighbors who get it — this is your night.
Free pizza and drinks for early arrivals.
WHAT TO EXPECT
01
The Affordable RI Agenda
Learn about the policies working people are fighting for — $20/hr minimum wage, rent stabilization, universal pre-K, and a fairer tax system.
02
How to Run for Office
Real talk about how regular people run for local office — training, support, and what it actually takes. No political experience needed.
03
Meet Your Neighbors
Connect with Cranston residents who care about affordability. This is where change starts — with people who show up.
04
Free Pizza & Drinks
Arrive early — drinks are first come, first served.
RSVP
Free and open to all. Just let us know you're coming so we have enough pizza.
