Why I'm Running for Re-Election
Kendra has been a passionate environmentalist her entire life. She is one of the founders and past presidents of Climate Action Rhode Island, the only 350.org affiliated group in RI. There, she led a large group of volunteers and worked on major projects within the environmental community. She is a member of the Environmental Council of Rhode Island’s Climate Crisis Campaign that recommended revisions to the Act on Climate 2020 bill.
She continues to be a trusted advisor for environmental organizations throughout the state, working to educate elected officials on legislation regarding climate change, the environment, and the Green New Deal.
Closer to home, she serves on the Norwood Neighborhood Association Leadership Team. She is committed to addressing issues facing the Norwood community and the community of Warwick as a whole.
Kendra Anderson is a strong advocate for funding our schools so every child has access to a quality education, for creating a tax system where the richest 1% pay their fair share, and for fair labor practices.
