Fair Work.
Fair Pay.
Fair Shot.
Latino workers in Rhode Island earn less, advance less, and face more barriers to economic stability than their non-Latino counterparts. These are not individual problems. They are the result of policy failures LPI is working to fix.
What We Do
LPI researches economic inequities affecting Latino workers and families and advocates for policies that address them: fair wages, paid leave, workforce development investment, and access to capital for Latino-owned businesses.
LPI was part of the coalition that expanded paid family leave in Rhode Island this year, a direct benefit to the Latino workers who disproportionately work in jobs that previously offered none.
