It's outrageous that Spotify is running ICE ads. I'm moving to another streaming platform that doesn't profit from exploiting artists while recruiting for ICE. #CancelSpotify app.sosha.ai/s/chclqYlQ

Hey everyone, thank a union for Monday off and get out to India Pt. Bridge to call out the fascists in DC who are stomping on worker rights! Come early & picnic in India Pt. Park. Bring a sign or banner. If the bridge fills up, there's lots of room along both the park and street sides of I-195!

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 Sign here: revenueforri.org

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!

We’re building the largest one-day mobilization in years. Nothing stops authoritarians in their tracks like organized people power — and we’re organizing it in communities throughout the country. All this work depends on people taking real life action. Join us on April 5: handsoff2025.com/?SQ...
Text poster with two sections. On the left, "HANDS OFF!" with a list including Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security. On the right, "WE MUST STOP TRUMP'S ILLEGAL, BILLIONAIRE POWER GRAB. SATURDAY APRIL 5." The background is textured like aged paper, and the text appears as if stenciled in black ink.
