"Former White House aide Gabe Amo, who grew up in Pawtucket the son of Ghanaian and Liberian immigrants, could become the first person of color to represent Rhode Island in Congress after his win Tuesday in the crowded Democratic primary for the state’s 1st Congressional District special election sent him on to the general election in the heavily Democratic state."

He's also the only candidate I know of who deeply understands the #energytransition and what we must to do combat this crisis.
That candidate is Aaron Regunberg.

539 followers · 828 posts · Server mastodon.energyI have a lot to say about the Democratic candidates in the special election in #RhodeIsland's first congressional district.
I've avoided posting here because I don't know how many #RhodeIsland people are active on Mastodon and would actually care.
Is this an accurate take? Or should I comment?

We are doing this in #Providence, #RhodeIsland through PVD Streets and Providence Urbanist Network. It happens one bike lane and one medium-density building at a time; these decisions are made in city meetings where a few individuals can make a big difference.
Furthermore, individuals can (sometimes) choose to live closer to work. Or buy a bike and use it for some trips. So lots that you can do. /1

"24% of Downtown Providence Is Parking — Is that Good or Bad"
@Bman called them "Parking craters" and I see what he means. How are you supposed to have places people want to GO when scorched earth makes it so people can't get there?
