In order to defray event expenses and to support future actions, we are requesting small donations from those who can afford it. Proceeds will be divided between Indivisible RI and Climate Action RI. A limited number of free tickets are also available.

This workshop is open to all residents. The primary focus will be Ward 3, but there will be discussions that focus on the entire city as well, for those interested in having a say in the future development of Cranston. Housing and quality of life topics are of city-wide interest.

It's time RI's 1% to pull their weight. Sign the petition. Too much of the burden to pay for basic services in our state fall on average working people. We need more revenue to keep our state healthy, and all of its residents in it. #taxtherich @govdanmckee.bsky.social

Two events this Friday in PVD! Pull Together is being organized by @indivisibleri.bsky.social. You can register on their www.mobilize.us/indivisibleri/ Please check out Keep Ice Out as well if you can! @pslweb.bsky.social

Cranston's schools already spend $3K less per student than the state average and lags in teacher pay. CPSD cut $2.4M already and may lose more if federal cuts hit. Hopkins has flat-funded for years, now giving 40% less than CPSD’s $3.9M ask. Tell the finance committee to fully fund our schools!

Want to see something incredible?

Those who say it cannot be done should not stand in the way of the ones doing it.
