Between July 14 and November 15, 2022, more than 525 Rhode Islanders gathered at one of 12 venues for a family-style meal and conversation with their neighbors as part of the Rhode Island Foundation’s Together RI initiative. The intent of Together RI is to inspire constructive civic and civil dialogue, and, by all accounts, that was achieved, thanks to thoughtful participation by many across our state. The conversations, held at restaurants and community spaces, provided an opportunity for Rhode Islanders to connect with and listen to each other.

Dozens of strengths were articulated—from the tradition of tolerance observed since the days of Roger Williams to responsive government officials, well-maintained parks, and the dynamic food scene—just to name a few.
