Today, Providence is the least affordable city in America for renters and costs are going up for everyone.

Together, we can make Providence a city all our neighbors can afford and where everyone feels welcome.

While many small businesses and residents have done their part to clear their sidewalks, there are large businesses ignoring the law.

When I’m Mayor, we’re going to hold these large businesses accountable!

It’s a shame our current Mayor has been too busy at an out-of-state conference to care.

Neighbors, if you’re feeling frustrated with how the city has been handling the snow storm, you’re not alone.

Your frustration is valid and you deserve better, Providence.

Since Thursday, several tenants at Sutterfield Apartments have been without water. Despite reaching out to management with their concerns, especially during this storm, little action has been taken.

Email their Property Manager demanding they urgently take action: Bcalore@trycrest.com

Providence Mayor Smiley in 2022: “Why is it that every time it snows, it’s as if it’s the first time we’ve ever plowed?”… “It shouldn’t take days to do snow removal, and proper snow removal includes not just cleaning the streets, but sidewalks and bike lanes.”

Brett Smiley wants to be the best snow plower in America. Is that enough to make him mayor of Providence? - The Boston Globe
After stints running the city for Mayor Jorge Elorza and the state for former governor Gina Raimondo, Smiley is officially one of the most important guys to know in all of Rhode Island politics.

I'm honored to have the support of Congressman Jamaal Bowman. He is a fighter for working families and a national leader who always uses his platform to challenge corporate power and the fascism of ICE.

We’re building a movement here in Providence!

ICE is a rogue agency that must be abolished. This state violence cannot continue.

I’m sending my love and solidarity to our neighbors in Minnesota and every community terrorized by ICE.

Let’s go @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social for Mayor of Providence! 👏🏽🏙️⚓️
davidmoralespvd.bsky.social David Morales @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social · 9d
I am excited to announce that Providence City Councilors Justin Roias and Miguel Sanchez have endorsed our campaign! Our city is stronger because of their leadership, and I’m ready to govern alongside them as Mayor. Together we are going to build a Providence for All.
The image is a political endorsement poster featuring two photographs and bold text. At the top, there is a navy blue band with the words "CITY COUNCILOR JUSTIN ROIAS" in large, white capital letters. Below, two Polaroid-style photographs are slightly tilted against a textured, dotted background. The left photograph shows Justin Roias, wearing a white t-shirt, leaning on his elbows against a light blue wall. The right photograph depicts David Morales, wearing a blue suit with a dotted shirt and a black tie, looking upwards and smiling. Beneath the photos, the word "ENDORSES" is prominently displayed in bold, orange capital letters. Below that, in smaller light blue and white letters, the text reads "¡DAVID MORALES! FOR PVD MAYOR" against the navy blue background. The image is a promotional graphic with a textured beige background and a large dark blue rectangle occupying most of the space in the middle. The left and right edges have a dotted pattern resembling a halftone effect in black and white. At the top, white text reads "City Councilor" in uppercase letters, above larger, bold text "JUSTIN ROIAS" also in white. Below, there is a longer quotation in white text about city direction and support for David Morales as mayor. At the bottom, the name "David Morales!" is displayed prominently in large, bold, light blue letters, followed by "FOR PVD MAYOR" in white. Quote from Roias is “Our city needs a new direction, and we need it now. For years, we've been told Providence should be a 'world-class city,' but that slogan has become code for a city that benefits developers and outsiders — not for the people who have lived here, worked here, and raised families here for generations. Under that approach, longtime residents are being pushed out while City Hall looks the other way. David Morales rejects those politics entirely. He is not bought and he is not beholden to corporate interests. That means he will fight for working people, tenants, and neighborhoods — not the powerful few. That’s why I’m proud to endorse David Morales for mayor.” The image is a campaign poster comprising two main sections: a header and a central part with photographs. The header has a dark blue background with bold white text that reads "CITY COUNCILOR MIGUEL SANCHEZ." Below, the central section presents two Polaroid-style photographs tilted inwards. The left image shows Miguel Sanchez, wearing a brown blazer over a dark shirt. The right photograph features David Morales, wearing a blue suit and a patterned shirt with a dark tie. The background of both photos is light blue with subtle patterns. Below the photos is a bold headline in orange and blue text against a dark blue background, announcing the endorsement. The bottom of the poster is textured with a subtle paper-like design. The image is a campaign poster with a textured, beige background and pixelated black patterns on the sides resembling cityscape silhouettes. The central portion features a large dark blue rectangle with white text. At the top, in bold capital letters, it reads "CITY COUNCILOR MIGUEL SANCHEZ." Below, a quote attributed to Sanchez describes his support and endorsement for David, focusing on community efforts, tackling housing issues, and leadership qualities. The bottom displays the text "¡DAVID MORALES! FOR PVD MAYOR" in bold, light blue and white capital letters. Quote from Miguel Sanchez is “I’ve watched David consistently show up for our Providence neighbors, in moments of crisis and in moments of courage. From supporting emergency shelter efforts for our unhoused neighbors to confronting suspected ICE agents threatening our immigrant community, he leads with action. I’m proud to support him for Mayor of Providence. As my city council colleagues and I prepare to tackle Providence’s housing emergency by passing rent stabilization, we need a trusted partner in the Mayor’s office. During my time in office, David has been an outstanding partner and I know he will continue to deliver real results for Providence’s working families at City Hall.”

Rep. @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social said he was disappointed McKee failed to make any reference to a millionaires tax or taxing the top 1% of Rhode Islanders. “Instead, the governor chose to use this speech to prioritize talking about trivial tax cuts,” he said.

. #Providence Mayoral candidate @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social takes the podium, leads the crowd in a chant of “say it loud and say it clear, immigrants are welcome here.”

More than 1,000 people turned out for the "ICE Out for Good" protest at the Rhode Island State House on Sunday. Speakers included Lev Poplow, lead organizer of @indivisiblemetrori.bsky.social, and state Rep./mayoral candidate @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social

The fight against fascism starts locally.

We must never forget that ICE murdered Renee Nicole Good in broad daylight. We cannot grow numb to the terror and the violence ICE is spreading to our immigrant community. #AbolishICE

Following an #ICE agent murdering #ReneeGood, PVD mayoral candidate @davidmoralespvd.bsky.social stated in an email promoting last night's protest that "ICE is not welcome in #Providence."

From PVD mayor Brett Smiley? Crickets.

Today, Renee Nicole Good was murdered by an ICE Officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This is horrifying on so many levels.

Please stay safe neighbors and call the Deportation Defense Network if you suspect ICE activity in Providence or RI: 401-675-1414
