This election year, The Public’s Radio wants to hear from the young residents of Rhode Island and the South Coast: What do you love about your community, and what could be better?

Conversations about elections tend to focus on the candidates and what’s on their agenda. But we are committed to serving the communities in our region with coverage of the 2024 elections that’s informed by you, for you. And we want to start by hearing what you care about most, what you’d like to know more about, and what your concerns are. What should we be paying attention to? What do you wish your elected officials, and candidates vying for office, were talking about? What we hear from you will help shape our elections coverage. 

In this in-person listening session, you’ll take part in small group conversations where you’ll share and discuss what you think matters most in your community, in conversation with your fellow community members. We may reach out to you afterwards for a story, or to participate in a voters panel discussion.

Registration is required. Click here to register. This event is for English- and Spanish-speaking residents of Rhode Island and the South Coast, ages 18-27 years old. Food and beverage will be provided. 

You will be contacted to confirm your reservation prior to the event. If you can’t make it, click here to learn more about our elections coverage and other ways to share your perspective.
