Mother of 4, wife of a veteran, activist and survivor. I am fighting to change not just the script but those that are writing it. @ripolcoop Co-Founder/Chair
My name is Jennifer Rourke, and I am running to represent Rhode Island’s 29th district in the State Senate. As a working-class mother and wife, I know what it is like to face the consequences of our broken government.
We have been knocking doors and having meaningful conversations and I must say that I am so thankful to every person that has opened their doors to us and offered water on these hot days.

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.
English is not my first language and what you don’t understand is that there are days when my brain only works in Spanish.
You are a disgusting person for mocking people where English is their second language @jboyan
@ClimateActionRI check your friend. This is despicable.
Losing a loved one is hard. Please consider donating to help alleviate some pain for this family.
When my stepmom died my village showed up.
I am asking you all to show up for @Rivera4RIPolicy in this time of need.
Please consider being her village and donate today.
2/2 If you’re seeing this tweet, your generous donations, no matter the amount, will go a long way in helping Michelle alleviate the financial burden of arranging the funeral.

I am happy to explain why many Jews misunderstood Jamie Foxx’s tweet but that is not an excuse for antiBlackness from Jews. We should put the same effort to understanding the meaning of the phrase to Foxx & many in the Black community
INBOX: Scorcher of a statement from @anaqforcongress on @AaronRegunberg family super PAC
"Don't play cute with us, Aaron. We see you for who you are: a privileged rich kid with no real job experience who's cosplaying 'man of the people'" #RI01wpri.com/news/elections/outs…
Theory:
It’s to splinter progressives. The @RIDemParty sabotages @Sabina_Matos to help @AaronRegunberg win, then they have someone that is willing to do whatever it takes to try & push folks that are fighting against the establishment more center
He would be the party’s mascot
Hear me out.
I'm the LAST person to defend @Sabina_Matos.
But this seems like a setup.
She is the @RIDemParty golden candidate. And yet they fumbled the bag this hard???
This is Rhode Island... There is always more to the story. The question is who will benefit most from this?
But they are also disrespecting the ground game of @anaqforcongress and @SANDRISCANO that are also out there. @JohnGPVD and @GabeAmo46 are also doing the work.
They only people benefiting from this is the @RIDemParty and their leadership.
He ain’t it y’all. He. Ain’t. It.
I would normally say “Love is Love” but this year it’s different.
Trans Rights are under attack and it’s not OK.
We need to remember that Trans Rights are Human Rights and do whatever we can to protect those rights!
