[Vice President Kamala Harris Archived @VP46Archive]

Under the Biden-Harris Administration, we have witnessed the three strongest years of new small business applications on record, and we are on track for a fourth.

We've also seen record small business creation from Black, Hispanic, and women entrepreneurs.

[RI KIDS COUNT @RIKidsCount]

If a candidate knocks on your door this election season, we’ve got some ideas for you on what to ask!

You’re encouraged and welcome to engage with folks running for office, and each of us here at RI KIDS COUNT have some things we’d like to ask, if given the opportunity.

Here’s our Senior Policy Analyst Jessica Vega with a few questions 🔥

[EconomicProgressRI @EconProgressRI]

New EPI report takeaway No. 1:

W/just over 1M people, RI is home to more than 100K businesses. 4 out of 5 of these have no workers, meaning that most business owners have no employees besides themselves.

Researched + written by our own @AlanKrinsky!

And to end off the night - an expansion of #PaidFamilyLeave passes today.

This is a step in the right direction and we look forward to the work ahead.

Thank you Rep @JoshuaJGiraldo and Sen. @Val_Lawson for your leadership.

[PlannedParenthoodVotes!RI @ppvotesri]

Thank you to the @RIHouseofReps for passing the Health Care Provider Shield Act tonight to protect legal, standard-of-care transgender and reproductive health care for patients and providers in our state. Special thanks again to lead sponsor Rep @repjay70 for getting it done! 🎉

[Marcela Betancur @MarceB_ri]

Special shout out to @divya__nair for being an awesome coalition leader!

[RIght from the Start @RIghtStartRI]

This small state has a big problem keeping pace with its neighbors on paid family leave. https://t.co/u8fVUourSH via @KContrerasFox @RICurrent

[Rhode Island Current @RICurrent]

COMMENTARY: Rhode Island has not kept pace with the needs of small businesses and their employees. Proposed legislation to expand paid family leave offers a way forward for the state to keep pace with Mass. and Conn., says @RIBBABIZ's @KContrerasFox

[EconomicProgressRI @EconProgressRI]

The idea that expanding #PaidFamilyLeave is "bad for small business" is a persuasive fiction that keeps it from happening. As our partner, @KContrerasFox, explains,⬆️leave from 6 weeks to 12 also⬆️employee retention + productivity + per-employee profitability. #PaidLeaveNow

[Latino Policy Institute @thelatinopolicy]

There’s still time to pass #PaidFamilyLeave before the end of the session. @RIHouseofReps we can do this 👏🏼
