No permanent solution to the housing crisis yet we have lots of financial support for the Superman building, a soccer stadium etc. What a disgrace. And no - building “affordable” housing that is 75% unaffordable but counting it as affordable units is NOT the answer.

Right now, members of @GovDanMcKee ‘s staff and the RI State Police are issuing eviction notices to those on the State House plaza. They have 648 hours.

My district committee ran and successfully won their seats. They should not be replaced by entrenched party loyalists. This could drastically affect the election, so if you care about a fair democratic process here in RI - please speak out against this.

John C. Revens Jr., a former Senate majority leader, has been nominated to Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission. He lacks experience in energy and utility fields, and his nomination has generated considerable pushback.

While @JenRourke29 was trying to politely ask a different counterprotester to leave, her opponent Jeann Lugo singled her out and punched her in the face. Jennifer works so hard to help people and support choice. She did not deserve to be attacked.

I thought the @RISenate cared about the environment, but we’re going to pass the bill to allow burning plastic??? Ridiculous.

S. 2788, which would exempt the burning of plastic from many of RI’s environmental rules, is scheduled for a vote in Senate Judiciary on Tuesday. Nearly every environmental group in the state opposes it, and every member of @RISenate should oppose it as well.

Thank you @krystalball and Rising for covering what we built in the @ripolcoop ! It’s been almost two years of work but I’m so thrilled of what we accomplished. Thanks for telling our story!

Last night at, dinner found out our waitress had to work 3 jobs. What is lacking in using the # of jobs as a measure of the economy is the fact that many like her have multiple jobs to make ends meet. If she was paid a living wage, she would only have to work one.

So do the people who don’t want their money to pay for abortion and have regular insurance not understand that their premiums already pay for other people’s abortions? It’s not like your premiums go into a special account just for you. 🙄

This is why I’ve been fighting so hard to protect our environment. Much of my district could be under water, not only in a ‘54 type hurricane, but because of rising sea levels. We can’t keep pushing off strong climate legislation. We need to take action now.

#ICYMI : Parts of Warwick will face 8-20 feet of water in the next 1954-type hurricane. But even residents who don’t live in flood zones should be concerned about the financial impacts. Full video+story:

Hey @CNN @NBCNews @ABC @MSNBC @AP @CBSNews This is what it’s like to be a Black woman ( @JenRourke29 ) running for State Senate in a blue state. You get attacked by a Republican opponent at a rally to support choice.

I'm a reproductive rights organizer & State Senate candidate. Last night, after speaking at our Roe rally, my Republican opponent – a police officer – violently attacked me. This is what it is to be a Black woman running for office. I won't give up.

In 2020, Jordan Goyette donated $35 to my campaign. I will be doubling that and making a donation to @houseofhopecdc today. No one should have to deal with that kind of behavior, and victims should be listened to and believed, and appropriate action should be taken.

Reading a book doesn’t turn you into something. Just like reading the Bible doesn’t make you a good Christian. I like reading about history but that doesn’t make me an Irish farmer during the potato famine.

The RI Senate doesn’t think workers, including state workers, making min wage deserve a living wage. My amendment to raise it to $19 an hour over the next few years IS germane as it affects the budget (thus why we’ve included increases to min in the budget just last year).

If you are in R.I. and care about a living wage, you may want to testify on a bill to raise the minimum wage to $20 today.
