Many of us in the Rhode Island general assembly, myself included, are calling on our federal delegation, not to support more more money money for an illegal war. Statement here:

Happy #WomensHistoryMonth from the women of the Rhode Island Senate. May we seek a future that is expansive, equitable, respectful, and safe, for women and people of all genders.

Headed out with the inimitable Rep. Speakman and @mackdistrict6.bsky.social to do some housing policy on the shiny new @amtrak.com Next Gen! My first time on this fancy train. #PublicTransitIsAPublicGood

Signs currently going up in Providence, Rhode Island.❤️

These bills would protect immigrants, limit how ICE operates in RI. How they work. Rhode Island lawmakers are considering bills to protect immigrants, including one that would prevent law enforcement from concealing their identities.

Proud to sponsor several of these bills. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Rhode Islanders will absolutely not be giving up our neighbors. www.providencejournal.com/story/news/p...

With a nod to Valentine’s Day, Senators @meghankallman.bsky.social and @samzurier.bsky.social, Reps. Rebecca Kislak and Jennifer A. Stewart, and @oceanstatercv.bsky.social are hosting a candy election tomorrow to demonstrate ranked-choice voting.

Senator @meghankallman.bsky.social, a Pawtucket Democrat, will join more than 50 legislators from 15 states gathering at the Minnesota State Capitol for a day of solidarity after the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

It’s Tuesday, January 27, and I am headed to Minneapolis later this week to stand in solidarity with my colleagues against authoritarianism, and for accountability and justice.

R.I. advocates backing separate bill to make crash data public - The Boston Globe The Department of Transportation refuses to release traffic accident data, but the Providence Streets Coalition says 42 other states make such information public.

“The public is entitled to data that reflects the safety of Rhode Island streets,” Senator @meghankallman.bsky.social said. “That is our reality. We get to know about that and use that to make a better reality.”

Hi friends! I'm revamping a community organizing course that I haven't taught in a few years - anyone have new organizing resources that they love, print or video or whatever? Share them? Please/thanks? xo

This afternoon I stood in solidarity with thousands of RIers. This year, I am introducing bills to protect due process, ensure accountability and push back on ICE overreach. I’m doing this for our neighbors, our kids, our community, and the future we owe each other.

Oh, Rhode Island❣️Showing up for each other over, and over, and over. We will do this, and protect our neighbors, for as long as it takes.

Packed house for the #SAVERIPTA coalition’s release of their report on the impact of the worst cuts to service in 50+ years!! We’re introducing legislation to ensure this never happens again. Public transit is a public good.

Happy 2026! Healthcare is a human right! Check out the State Based Universal Healthcare Act, that I’m *so thrilled* to be introducing when the legislature kick off later today!

An update on the shootings yesterday. Please continue to get your news from official channels, @brownupolisci.bsky.social @pvdcitycouncil.bsky.social. Love each other hard.

Join use next week to talk about the upcoming legislative session, our new bills, and how you can get involved. We’ll be diving into housing, healthcare, wealth taxes, ICE, and much more!

Some women’s colleges are thriving, even as they navigate Trump era - The Boston Globe The number of women's colleges has decreased, but Massachusetts is home to some of the most successful survivors, which have changed with the times while preserving their ideals of equity and inclusio...

@smithcollege.bsky.social taught me some of my most important lessons about justice, intellectual inquiry, and dedication to community, broadly defined. Women-focused colleges have been lifechanging and lifegiving for many, myself among them. Worth a read: www.bostonglobe.com/2025/11/29/m...
