Next Thursday (10/2) I'll be taking part in two panel discussions: one about the misinformation campaign against offshore wind and the second a regional perspective on how the labor movement is leading the way to a clean energy future. Find out more and register here: www.northeastrec.org

CJNRC hosted John Podesta, @whitehouse.senate.gov, @budzinski.house.gov, and @riaflcio.bsky.social's @patcrowley401.bsky.social at @32bjseiu.bsky.social's HQ for a panel discussion on how states can meet the moment with ambitious climate action that centers workers. #ClimateWeekNYC

New England labor unions sign first-in-the-nation labor peace agreement with Southcoast Wind open.substack.com/pub/steveahl...

Had an amazing day in NYC today at #climateweeknyc talking about our work in Rhode Island to help lead a labor union driven transition to a carbon free economy. Thank to the amazing team from Climate Jobs RI for all the work they do for the working class in Rhode Island.

“If the industry continues to partner with organized labor, then we have a path to victory and we need to follow that path,” Crowley said. “These projects are about redesigning our entire economy with labor unions leading the way toward decarbonizing.”

"Rhode Island AFL-CIO President Patrick Crowley told Rhode Island Current a group of 50 union leaders were in the midst of a meeting when the news broke, just before he said he was going to head to New York City to speak on a Climate Week panel" rhodeislandcurrent.com/2025/09/22/d...

"Small State Wins"

To paraphrase Chico Mendes, environmentalism without the labor movement is just gardening, that's why tomorrow I'll be in NYC discussion a climate action agenda for working families. @climateactionri.org @cjnrc.org @americanprogress.bsky.social @aflcio.org

Proud of my Congressman.

Helped defeat an amendment to further restrict offshore wind in the annual defense bill yesterday with @repjoecourtney.bsky.social and @magaziner.house.gov. We must keep pushing to protect working Rhode Islanders.

Loss of Revolution Wind could cost ratepayers $500M a year, Conn. officials say rhodeislandcurrent.com/2025/09/09/l...

Trump’s putting hundreds of Rhode Islanders out of a job because he’s weirdly afraid of windmills. Took to the House floor to stop an insane, falsehood-laden amendment to the NDAA that would create economic pain for RIers and jack up costs for working families as we head into winter. WATCH ⬇️📺

From the Globe Editorial Board: There is no upside to pausing Revolution Wind, the $4 billion wind farm off the coast of Rhode Island led by Danish firm Orsted and Germany’s Skyborn Renewables.

You have to watch this exchange with @magaziner.house.gov and whomever this flunky from the administration is. Amazing. Thank you congressman. youtube.com/watch?v=IWpW...

Stopping work on Revolution Wind when the project is 80% complete is anything but rational. Watch the full press conference on our YouTube channel 🔗 youtu.be/Y3i9gJpToYU?...

Got to sit down last night with @wpri12.bsky.social and briefly and give a union point of view on the ongoing fight to save a thousand jobs and protect RI's effort to create a worker-led transition to a green economy. youtu.be/KVe1Jf8uShg?...

Eight Brown University unions team up to form labor council rhodeislandcurrent.com/briefs/eight...

In a joint statement, five East Coast governors voiced support for the offshore wind industry.

Corporate Greed—that’s what we’re fighting against this Workers’ Labor Day. If you’re tired of CEOs making 285x what the median worker makes, join the labor movement this weekend and help show these billionaires how we fight back. WorkersLaborDay.org

Did an interview w/ @washingtonexaminer.bsky.social “They’re angry…they’re pissed off,” Crowley told Callie. “You know, many of our members in the building trades voted for the Trump team and they’re feeling betrayed…it doesn’t make any sense to them.” www.washingtonexaminer.com/e-mail-daily...

This project has been under construction since 2023, is 80% complete, and created more than 1000 union jobs. All of that is now at risk. turnto10.com/news/local/h...

Folks are going to want to be here for this: Press Conference in response to Trump Administration's Stop Work Order for Revolution Wind, TOMORROW (Monday 8/25) at 12 PM (noon) at Compass Rose Beach (1347 Roger Williams Way, North Kingstown, RI 02852).

The govt shut down #RevolutionWind. 80% finished, 2M #union hours already worked. Overnight, #LIUNA jobs gone and CT & RI families left with higher bills. They promised jobs and affordable #energy. Instead they fired workers and weakened America. #LIUNABuilds #FeelThePower #UnionStrong

11. KUDOS & CONGRATS TO: Mike Roles, executive director of the Rhode Island Institute for Labor Studies, and RI AFL-CIO Legislative Director Autumn Guillotte on their engagement this week — a pairing made by union labor.

🚨Trump is stripping collective bargaining rights from VA employees, many of whom are Veterans. This is a gut punch to the men and women providing care to those who've served our nation. I'm standing with workers to pass the PRO Act and make sure every American who wants to join a union, can.

“We thought it made sense to make sure that we updated our state labor relations act to say that if you are currently organized under the federal law and that jurisdiction is taken away, you can still organize under the state labor relations act,” Crowley said. www.thenation.com/article/acti...

We don’t mess around.

How can a company like @halfstreetgroup.bsky.social and @mikeraia.bsky.social market themselves as "Standing up to Doge" while using lines like this that sound like they came right out of Project 2025:

This is the ‪@halfstreetgroup.bsky.social‬ and while they are marketing themselves as a group to provide comms in the time of Trump - "literally 'standing up to doge' - they are also running anti-union comms while workers are on strike in #RI. (www.halfstreetgroup.com/standingupto...)
