The last 5 weeks have been filled with terrible and dangerous EOs. This one may seem “harmless” but it’s truly a disgrace and a way to chip away at the rights and access of millions. Let’s INVEST in Multilingualism- not end it. turnto10.com/news/local/eng…

The 20th anniversary of Latino Policy Institute is here and I continue to be beyond honored to be part of the history of this organization. We have done so much for RI, and we have so much more to do.

We’re getting closer to our goal of $5,000 to kick off our 20th anniversary at Latino Policy Institute! We have a few more hours to go and every dollar counts! (Especially at the 4:01pm match 😎) 401gives.org/organizations/…

It takes a village to create change! Grateful to work with strong advocates to improve the RI Works—especially on policy to increase the child support pass-through for families getting just $50/month. We can and must do better. Pass S658 & H5992! For more info visit Raising RI

Here's to the Rhode Island Senate for voting to make much-needed expansions to RI's paid family leave program, TCI — and to Valarie Lawson's tenacity and leadership for getting it done! We also offer colossal🫡🫡🫡to all the advocates behind the scenes who pushed to make this happen!

The best way to reduce the cost of Medicaid is to name and shame big employers that pay their full time employees so little, they qualify for Medicaid

So the next time you can’t afford your rent or health care when you’re sick or to have your loved one in a nursing home, don’t blame the “illegals.” Blame the Republicans. They’ve earned your blame.

‘I want Daddy.’ As ICE detains parents, children are left behind. Often too young to understand where their mothers and fathers are, children of detainees suffer — and wait. bostonglobe.com/2025/07/23/mag… via The Boston Globe

I’m incredibly proud to be the daughter of immigrants. Proud to work every day to ensure that the lives they fought so hard are protected. Hearing my mom retell her story filled me with pride and sadness. Thank you ⁦Edward Fitzpatrick⁩ for this story bostonglobe.com/2025/08/15/met…
