What We Do

The  Women’s Caucus is committed to increasing the number of Democratic women elected to public office and appointed to public policy positions.  We seek to civically engage women of all ages in the political process through events, programming, and workshops. Caucus members include a diverse group of women.  The Women's Caucus offers programs that strive to increase the interest of women in the political process and helps them to be successful in the political arena.

RI Democratic Women's Caucus Mission

The Women's Caucus seeks to impact government and political processes in order to ensure equality in power, influence, and economic status for those who identify as and with women. We will do this by (a) recruiting and supporting candidates in all levels of government and (b) advocating for Democratic principles consistent with the Democratic Party platform.

Our Vision

A robust participatory government led by women, that is informed by women, and works for women of the State of Rhode Island.
