Dear politicians/political influencers:
When you evoke my father this #MLKDay, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work.
Don’t just quote him.
Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings.

Areas of Rhode Island have been impacted by flooding due to heavy rains. Several roadways are still closed throughout the state. Remember, never drive or walk-through flooded roadways. It only takes 12 inches of fast-moving water to carry away a small car. #TurnAroundDontDrown

Just a reminder that the Washington bridge is still a complete mess for those of us that live one side and work on the other. This failures belongs to @GovDanMcKee administration and someone needs to be held accountable. Govt exists to prevent these types of issues. Do something – at Providence, RI

The pallet project, ECHO Village, has been a longtime in the making, thanks to the leadership of @houseofhopecdc. It provides transitional shelter - a step up from sleeping in tents & cars - as we work toward providing more permanent housing. providencejournal.com/story/…

@houseofhopecdc has been a strong advocate for pallet shelters, introducing plans for "Echo Village" during the pandemic. Knowing unsheltered homelessness is up roughly 370% in Rhode Island since 2019, we're so pleased to see this critical initiative move forward @RIDeptofHousing
