East Bay Citizens for Peace (EBCP)

The East Bay Citizens for Peace (EBCP)

We are a grassroots organization made up of individuals from Rhode Island’s East Bay area that are committed to peaceful solutions to conflict and to social and economic justice through the promotion of open, respectful dialogue. We strive to accomplish these goals through public forums on topics relevant to our mission, publication of position papers and community activism. We also seek to promote changes in U.S. policy by lobbying our representatives in Washington DC on issues of concern. EBCP operates by consensus and does not as a group subscribe to any one political ideology or party.

    EBCP has partnered with Resist Hate RI and is taking steps to protect immigrants in our communities. We are circulating a petition in support of East Bay Town Ordinances to ensure non-cooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in their efforts to detain and deport undocumented families and youth for non-criminal activities. If you are an East Bay resident, please join us in this action to stand up for immigrants and sign the petition for your town:
