The focus of the work has been the following issues affecting low-income populations: utility access and affordability, fair housing, labor unions, childhood poverty, and preventing hunger. They have worked on these goals through several major programs including the Rhode Island Campaign to Eliminate Childhood Poverty, Rhode Island Parents for Progress, and the Fund for Community Progress. These materials also reflect the work of Shelton to lobby and partner with the Rhode Island Governor’s office, Representatives and Senators at the state and federal levels, and community groups of all types.
