The Trump Admin’s repeated attacks on offshore wind hurt workers & our local economy. Grateful Patrick Crowley from @riaflcio.bsky.social could join us today to discuss tremendous work union workers are doing to lower energy costs & power our nation forward.

I’m a no on the DHS bill. Congress must step up to protect the rights of all Americans, enact needed safeguards, and ensure accountability. ICE is supposed to enforce the law and protect the public, not abuse your rights and trample on the people they serve.

The executive board of the Rhode Island AFL-CIO unanimously adopted this resolution about the ongoing ICE actions in Minneapolis. We stand in solidarity with the people of Minnesota and our union siblings in the @mnaflcio.org .

Rhode Island AFL-CIO supports proposed Rent Stabilization efforts in the city of Providence.

“This is not the first time this administration has tried to shut down offshore wind, and it will not be the last unless we continue to push back,” said Patrick Crowley, President of the RI AFL-CIO.

Now more than ever it is important to shop local in Providence.

There's something happening here... "Benoit instead suggested that RIPTA’s board support a tax on Rhode Island’s highest earners to fill the agency’s remaining budget gap. It’s a move that he admitted he wouldn’t have supported in the past."

On August 22, 2025, the Trump administration issued a stop work order on Revolution Wind, a 704 megawatt offshore wind farm off the coasts of Rhode Island and Connecticut. This video shares the stories of union members that were impacted by the shut down. 💨✊🍞🌹🌹 #SolidarityIsAVerb #offshorewind
