Throwback Thursday: Earlier this year, history was made when Representative @jenstewart4ri.bsky.social introduced the Rhode Island Day of Reason resolution in the House of Representatives.
Today is National Religious Freedom Day. At a time when our federal government has been corrupted by Christian Nationalists, it is more important than ever to stand up for religious freedom and the rights of all Americans.

We are excited about working with the community to defend voting rights in our state. A main legislative priority for us this year will be the passage of a new bill codifying the 1965 Voting Rights Act into RI law.

The fight for Religious freedom is the fight for reproductive freedom. It's been a privilege seeing anti-abortion crusaders lose repeatedly in our state. We'll continue to stand against them and relish their defeats. Because this is RI, the birthplace of religious freedom. We take that seriously.

Win for free speech!

The public will be guaranteed access to the State House rotunda for a rally the day of the Governor’s upcoming “State of the State” address. Groups were denied access last year.

Our lawsuit will continue to ensure the State House is ALWAYS accessible as a place of free speech.

Did you know? Rhode Island made national news a few years ago when a brave student questioned the placement of a prayer banner in her high school. We sat down with her uncle, who is now a treasured local independent journalist. Thanks @steveahlquist.bsky.social for some wonderful conversation!

Most Christians in the US are good people. But the bad ones cry persecution while crusading against others.

We condemn the crusade against teachers and public education. Conservative Christians are determined to undermine everything that makes our country great in their quest to indoctrinate and dumb down future generations.
