A warm congratulations to Melissa Cherney on her new role as CEO of the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. Cherney recently visited a local organization, Good Neighbors RI.

Their efforts make a tangible difference for folks in our community and beyond. Thank you for all that you do.

Why, yes, I am the world's #1 Heathcliff fan. How did you guess? 😂

The films showcased exciting and practical ideas for how we can make our cities healthier, more walkable, and friendly to everyone. Hearing from the panel and audience reinforced that we have tangible tools at our disposal to strengthen our cities and towns. (2/2)

It was great to attend the Block by Block film series this evening, organized by @growsmartri.bsky.social, @neighborswelcomeri.bsky.social, @strongtowns.org Greater Providence, and the Better Cities Film Festival. I thank them for putting on such an impactful film screening. (1/2)

Enjoyed the beautiful weather and community at Smithfield Sportsman's Club 92nd Annual Field Day & got to catch up with a good friend David Fasteson. Enjoyed archery, tomahawk throwing, darts, hay rides, & more.

Events like these, full of friends and neighbors, are at the heart of our communities.

Had a great time at the East Providence Democratic Committee Fundraiser at Lucky's tonight. So glad to have caught up with great friends and wonderful people!

I shared my thoughts on East Providence's new ADU ordinance in a letter to the editor. It's a step in the right direction, but we need to do more to make ADUs a viable option for our residents.

And thanks to Rhode Island Public Transit Authority for getting us there. 🚍

Enjoyed watching a great soccer match tonight – and also got to capture the moment Rhode Island FC scored their winning goal against Birmingham. ⚽️

We handed out flyers about @epicri.org's mission, as well as free childrens' books and instant photos to anyone who requested one. I am happy with the great weather and high turnout of the event. It was great seeing you all!

Today, myself and other community members with EPiC held a table at Neighborhood Day.

I enjoyed talking with and hearing from neighbors in regards to the need for high quality public education and how we must do our part in addressing the cost of living crisis in our city.

I went out to the ribbon cutting of Kent Park yesterday — and was encouraged by the community turnout. Our parks are a crucial third place — a location that is separate from our home (the 1st place) & work (the 2nd place). Third places foster social interaction & increase belonging in our city.

Tonight, I spoke at the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority's public hearing in opposition to the proposed service cuts.

Nearly half a decade ago, I told my wife that I would take her last name. Today, that day has finally come! My experience at Social Security was surprisingly quick and painless. Hopefully my experience at the DMV will be the same way.

This is a great opportunity for young folks in our city to get civically involved 🏛️ and to learn how to engage in our democracy! 🇺🇸 Civic engagement is a duty of citizenship.

“We want to own a home in the city my wife grew up in. I feel like the housing crisis is pushing people out of the towns they actually have a connection to,” Dufurrena said.

Lending my support to the backyard chicken ordinance! I intend on speaking in favor of its passage at tomorrow's City Council meeting. Let's create a legal pathway for responsible chicken ownership in East Providence.

East Providence: It's time to get big government out of our backyards. Let's legalize backyard chickens.

Marched with @melodiepimen.tel at RI Pridefest's parade, in support of striking Butler Hospital workers at 1199 SEIU Rhode Island. 💛💜💛💜

I decided to run an ad this week in the East Providence Post with a positive message for Pride month. Our city — and the broader state — should always aim to be a welcome place for all.
