ABOUT US

Towards An Anti-Racist North Kingstown (TANK) is an organization made up of local Rhode Island students, teachers, parents, and allies dedicated to enacting antiracist policies in North Kingstown. We engage in the work of opposing racism because we believe that people should not be judged by the color of their skin. There has been ample evidence, throughout our nation and even within our town, that people are too often judged and found to be wanting because of the color of their skin, because they practice a different faith, because of who they love, because of how they identify, because they are differently abled, and because of any other number of reasons that allow the uneducated voice or the malignant voice to single them out as lesser. We believe that our town is better than that. We work to make North Kingstown a community that values every resident, and treats all with decency, honor and kindness.
