They call me the saddest tree in the State. I just needed water.....Parody to help spread some Christmas tomfoolery! Providence, RIJoined December 2017
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
RI Community Food Bank helps lots of seniors and people who have low income every month by giving them boxes full of healthy foods, like pasta, canned fruits, and cheese. If you or a loved one is interested in this program, visit rifoodbank.org/senior-food-bo… or call 401-230-1708.
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

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/news/loc…
Breaking news from the RI Department of Housing. Per the release, the community (if approved by the state) will include 45 individual one-room units.
It will also be staffed with office units for staff to provide case management, recovery support, and job training.
Due to recent weather, the @RIBloodCenter says they have only about one day's worth of certain blood types. Call 401-453-8383 or visit ribc.org/donate to schedule your donation today and help ensure RI has the supply it needs to save lives. tinyurl.com/39tycdz9
@AlexaGagosz@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
The Department of Housing will construct a pallet shelter “village” of 45 small, one-room structures on a vacant plot of state-owned land on Victor Street in Providence, with services provided by @houseofhopecdc@Globe_RIbostonglobe.com/2024/01/11/met…
