Legislation

At RI NOW, we have determined key pieces of legislation for the upcoming session that impact women and girls in Rhode Island. Our Legislative Agenda incorporates our five issue areas, including: Reproductive Health and Justice; Economic Justice, Stopping Violence Against Women; Lesbian/Gay Rights; and Ending Racism.

While all of these bills are important, there are a few bills that we believe will be particularly important in the upcoming legislative session.
