I was always a fan of the Orwell quote, “In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act,” I just never thought the truth in question would be basic constitutional rights.
Thank you to all the volunteers and folks who donated that helped make City Hall a safe sanctuary from dangerously cold temperatures last night. More opportunities to volunteer tonight and tomorrow at Da Vinci Center as the temps continue to drop
Hello to this amazing community,View quoted post on X
I want to provide an update. The city has agreed to move forward with the Da Vinci Center, located at 470 Charles St, as a warming shelter with a similar setup to what we had last night in the City Council Chambers. This is a huge win for our unhoused neighbors, and we will not have to spend a second night at the City Council Chambers. Thank you to members of the Smiley administration, such as Dennis Gonzalez, Housing Resources Coordinator; Emily Freedman, Director of Housing; and Courtney Hawkins, Chief Operating Officer for the City of Providence, who helped make this possible.
If you would like to volunteer to help these efforts tonight and into Friday morning, please see the information below:
What We Need:
- Food
- Sleeping bags
- Water
- Toilet paper
- Blankets
- Narcan
- Sweaters
- Socks
Volunteers Needed:
- People trained to administer Narcan
- Individuals with shelter management experience
- Outreach workers
- Nurses and doctors
- Compassionate people
Shifts Needed for Tonight, Thursday, and Friday Morning:
- 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM
- 10:00 PM to 1:00 AM
- 1:00 AM to 4:00 AM (highest priority and need right now)
- 4:00 AM to 7:00 AM (highest priority and need)
Sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
Multiple volunteers have already committed to these shifts, but we will not turn anyone away. Greater capacity allows us to give volunteers breaks throughout the night.
Thank you for your continued support and compassion!
We were happy to welcome newly elected school board members last week
Thank you, Council President @RachelRI, Majority Leader Pedro Espinal, and the entire @pvdcitycouncil, for your recognition at yesterday’s meeting. Our shared focus must remain on placing students and families above political aspirations. I am grateful to God to continue serving.View quoted post on X
