Happy mother's day to you! One of the most amazing teachers in RI!

Our kids are struggling, and teachers are sounding the alarm—they can’t do this alone.

Every student deserves access to support that helps them succeed not just academically, but emotionally and mentally too. This isn’t just about school—it’s about saving lives.

Thank you 💚💚

We started something big here in RI. States across the country are following our lead and demanding that utilities put people over profits. Proud to see this movement grow and even more proud to have helped spark it.

Change starts here. And we’re just getting started.

Squeezed by Trump, blue states try squeezing utilities in return Democratic lawmakers are pushing to limit utility profits as they seek to address voter affordability concerns and fend off criticism over the costs of clean energy policies.

When I took on the utility companies in Rhode Island by introducing a cap on their profits, I knew it was the right thing for Rhode Islanders—and now, it’s catching on nationwide.

Community Focus: NEARI Executive Director Mary Barden Mary Barden, the executive director of the National Education Association Rhode Island, joined 12 News at 4 on Wednesday to talk about her organization’s legislative priorities for the coming…

Our Mary Barden talked today with @kimkalunian.bsky.social about the proposed dismantling of the Dept. of Education and NEARI’s state legislative priorities.

Wages for the top 1% have skyrocketed while working families struggle to keep up. Yet, RI still relies on regressive taxes that hit the bottom 90% the hardest. It’s time for a tax system that works for everyone, not just the wealthy. #FairTax
