South Kingstown High School Auditorium

Wakefield. The quarterly meeting of the South County Social Justice Coalition will take place on Sunday, March 8, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. in the South Kingstown High School Auditorium. The event is free and open to the public.

This meeting is an opportunity to meet with Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who has represented Rhode Island since 2007. Senator Whitehouse has long been recognized as an international leader on climate change, being the only federal representative who attended the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Brazil in November 2025.

His advocacy has also helped strengthen programs such as Medicare and Social Security, ensuring stability for millions of Americans. Senator Whitehouse places a strong focus on combating corruption in government, pushing for transparency, accountability, and reforms, particularly in the Supreme Court.

Alex Nunes, formerly of The Public’s Radio and now executive editor of The Westerly Sun, will moderate the conversation, followed by an open Q&A session, offering audience members the opportunity to engage directly with Senator Whitehouse on any issue.

The South County Social Justice Coalition is comprised of faith groups, individuals, and helping organizations who address issues of equity, diversity, access and support at any level in South County. The Coalition provides a weekly newsletter of local social justice events and resources. Quarterly meetings are intended to connect neighbors, activists and organizations, plus state leaders and Congressional representatives.
