Trumpcare protest outside Governor Conference during VP Pence visit to RI

Trumpcare protest outside Governor Conference during VP Pence visit to RI

By Steve Ahlquist on July 15, 2017

“The GOP has made only cosmetic changes to their Trumpcare bill that do nothing to alter the bill’s fundamental problems. Make no mistake: this bill and the bill already passed by the House will have a devastating impact on people’s lives.”

Alternatives and Solutions: Strategies for Climate Justice and a Just Transition

Alternatives and Solutions: Strategies for Climate Justice and a Just Transition

By Environmental Justice League of RI on January 15, 2016

Economic strategies around Just Transition require strong partnerships between environmental justice community advocates and the labor movement. Too often the corporate 1 percent strategy of divide and conquer is successful, but Just Transition pushes us to build powerful working class alliances to overturn the economic and political power structures that simultaneously harm workers, create widespread economic inequality and poverty, and destroy the planet’s ability to sustain life.

Economic Inequality: high cost project that will cause economic damage

Economic Inequality: high cost project that will cause economic damage

By Environmental Justice League of RI on January 14, 2016

The increased costs of home gas prices will have a devastating impact in Washington Park and South Providence, where families living in poverty are already dealing with the frequent impacts of National Grid terminating utility service. This is especially true in rental units which are often less energy efficient: because tenants pay utility costs, landlords have no incentive to invest in weatherization or energy efficiency, making heating costs higher.
