About Us


 

We are a group of concerned Providence residents and taxpayers seeking to provide independent, non-partisan advocacy in support of transparent, responsible policy decisions that serve the best interests of all citizens of the City of Providence.

Tough financial times are forcing lawmakers to take drastic actions across the city budget, actions that will affect the day to day lives of Providence residents. Special interest groups are paying close attention and are fighting hard to retain their piece of the shrinking pie. We want to ensure that our interests as citizens don’t get overlooked in this increasingly divisive fight for dwindling resources.

Our mission is to promote effective, efficient and transparent governance in the City of Providence that fairly serves the best interest of all of the city's residents.  We will

  • Hold elected officials accountable

  • Educate the citizenry

  • Mobilize citizens, promote participation

  • Work collaboratively w/ government
