@DavidMoralesRI, Mark McKenney & Lαmmis J. Vαrgαs will be joined by EconomicProgressRI, Latino Policy Institute & Conexión Latina Newport at a State House rally tomorrow, Tuesday, March 18, at 3pm to call for the passage of legislation to invest in multilingual education in Rhode Island.
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/…
For the last 20 years, the Latino Policy Institute has been a leader in providing information and analysis of the Latino community. Thank you to United Way of Rhode Island for helping highlight through Providence Journal the work of Latino Policy Institute search.app/fzkADHoGAYP1zy…

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!
‘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…
