RI State Rep for Tiverton, Portsmouth, Little Compton, District 71 (she/her) All thoughts my own.
- Replying to @NPRHuman trafficking is defined in the UN Trafficking in Persons Protocol as "the recruitment, transport, transfer, harbouring or receipt of a person by such means as threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, abduction, fraud or deception for the purpose of exploitation".
- "Holy Name’s 11 positives are all males — and all between the ages of 28 and 48." 6 of them in ICU. This is not just dangerous to the elderly and high risk patients. We need people to get on board with social distancing now. roi-nj.com/2020/03/14/opi…
- The hard working, debt paying people of Rhode Island would like a word…My body my choice? Your loan my responsibility? This isn’t loan forgiveness, it’s a generation of lazy unaccountable uneducated children being covered by hard working debt paying Americans.
- Thank you to my colleagues for joining me in requesting that the State of RI follow the recommendations of public health policy experts for the start of the school year.INBOX: 34 state lawmakers formally ask @GovDanMcKee "to declare an executive order requiring appropriate facial coverings for school students (age 2 years and older), teachers, staff, and visitors to K-12 schools regardless of vaccination status"
- Spent the afternoon knocking with @JoeShekarchi as he showed me some beautiful neighborhoods in Warwick. We’ve made some real positive changes under his leadership and I look forward to working with him in the next session.
- Just voted yes to a path to a $15 minimum wage and yes to extending the RI Promise program for continued access to a college education. Well done @RIHouseofReps !
- Shout out to all the vaccinated healthcare workers that recognize the importance of scientific data when it comes to public health.
- If you spent the night seething with rage or feeling crushed--you are not alone. We all need to vote, and I don't just mean for president or for federal office holders. Your state office holders hold the key to protecting your rights. #VoteLikeYourLifeDependsOnItBecauseItDoesWe need to flip a *lot* of state legislatures - and hold our Dem majorities. Some R legislatures rushed draconian bills to gut civil rights for the intent of getting them to the SCOTUS. See: Mississippi. Others held off because they’d lose. Now they’re going to feel emboldened.
- Can someone please clarify why students will be off from school this coming Friday?Trying to be cute again? As an atheist who believes in nothing, you should know that our schools already don't celebrate Christmas.
- Charging my car at one of Rhode Island’s public charging stations and the guy charging next to me is picking up the trash around the lot while he waits for his car to charge. This is the positive vibe I needed to start my day. #evcharging #ThereIsNoPlanetB
- Is there precedent for the @RIDemParty directly/publicly attacking a Democratic candidate upon their announcement? Regardless of who you want to be Governor, this is shocking.Press Release: Statement on Matt Brown's run for Governor
- The#ActonClimateRI has now passed both the House and the Senate. Ri is on the path to significant carbon emissions reduction. I am honored to be a part of it.
- Can we please stop sending the message to my legislative colleagues, whom we hope to change their views on abortion, that the change we seek will be met with ridicule and public shaming?
