Join us at the RI Statehouse tomorrow at 1PM for #NoKings. You can bring your lawn chair & beverage, and skip the march. We won't judge. Just show up.

I will be at NEYM on Sunday, but @pvdcitycouncil.bsky.social is offering a great opportunity for folks to talk about rent prices. I promised to amplify this message, and I hope to join future meetings.

Brent, you have achieved the Shepard Fairey cool factor 😎. We can invite you to visit us in Providence RI, where Shepard studied art (and left Obey stickers everywhere.) @pvdstreets.bsky.social

Pathways Co-Vice-Chair Corey Jones was one of two Moms Demand Gun Sense Candidates elected to the Providence Public School Board in 2024. He is a labor and training professional for state gov't, and a survivor of gun violence. @everytown.bsky.social

Chair Sanchez's Pathways Task Force is stacked with Providence CVI stakeholders and participants. Co-Vice-Chair Diana Garlington is an @everytown.bsky.social Survivor Fellow, and founded RI's Safer Communities for Justice.

Jean Griffin and I have some amazing allies 😍😍 at @pvdcitycouncil.bsky.social. Council members John Goncalves & Shelley Peterson sponsored a Resolution urging the RI State Legislature to pass an Assault Weapons Ban this year. The Res passed unanimously. #endgunviolence

2025 RI @momsdemand.bsky.social Advocacy Day at the Statehouse has been inspiring! We're poised to ban assault weapons here.
Kudos to @jasonknight.bsky.social and Sen Lou DiPalma for sponsoring the bills.

The #HandsOff2025 peaceful protest was an inspiring event for me. Today, I'm recognizing that we all were standing on the shoulders of American giants.

Grateful 🙏🏻 to Mayor Smiley and Chief Perez for closing Thayer & Angell Streets for our historic march on Saturday 4.5.25.
Defending free speech can be strategically difficult & politically unpopular--especially to motorists! TY for keeping me safe out there.

#HandsOff2025 in Providence RI. 8000 Ocean Staters saying yes to democracy and no to fascism.

This gentleman read my mind. #HandsOff2025 Providence RI.

Hey, #BskyEurope! The anti-authoritarian #HandsOff2025 rally today in Rhode Island (smallest state in USA) drew 8000 people.
How are we doing? Can we change the course?

I rode this luxurious RIPTA 1 coach to our RI HandsOff Rally at Hope HS.

RI House Rep @jenniferboylanri.bsky.social
introduced her bills to reduce firearm suicides and protect Ocean Staters from hate crimes today.
Rep Boylan, a former RI @momsdemand.bsky.social leader, remains poised amid the 2A advocates. As always.

Thank you @rebeccakislak.bsky.social and @samzurier.bsky.social for representing me during every session at The People's House. We made some noise today.

Fellow progressives: when we see Republicans trying to get a hold of their Congress Reps...
...it's time to put on your teacher hat.
Those kids are organizing to save democracy, and they're not too good at it. Offer to help. Here's a great approach:

Small but mighty, Rhode Island's @indivisible.org protest convened today. 30° and 30mph winds. Unbent. Unbowed.

Reality TV show host who repeats the phrase "You're fired" with accompanying hand gesture. Sure. He should be in charge of the nukes. 🥺

Thank you, @govdanmckee.bsky.social, for your unwavering support of RI House & Senate bills to ban assault weapons. The room is packed with @momsdemand.bsky.social @ricagv.bsky.social and bill cosponsors!!
