Pawtucket's Morley Field is located in a census tract that is in the top 10% for Environmental Injustice in the United States.

So why does Pawtucket want to get rid of the only greespace?

@UpriseRI @JenStewartRI

[RI Interfaith Co. @RIinterfaithCo]

Let's come together this SATURDAY (8/3) to protect one of the remaining green spaces in the Woodlawn Community in Pawtucket.

There's no shortage of evidence that public green spaces are associated with increased social capital, financial well-being, and security. See you there!

Roughly $600k of RI ARPA funds will go towards providing free legal services to low-income tenants to prevent eviction. Let's work together to keep the momentum going!
