Marti Rosenberg, of Cranston, veteran State House lobbyist on behalf of health care, voter participation and labor issues dear to low-income Rhode Islanders, is stepping down as executive director of Ocean State Action.

Rosenberg, 43, a familiar figure in the marble capitol corridors, is leaving to work for Washington, D.C.-based U.S. Action, which also lobbies on behalf of low-income citizens.

The new executive director for Ocean State Action will be Karen Malcolm, 47, also of Cranston, who has worked for the organization for four years.

Ocean State Action is financed by 21 community and organized labor groups and lobbies on behalf of such issues as universal health care and fair treatment for working people.
