@SenJackReed @SenWhitehouse I am so proud of this state for passing the Preservation of Families with Disabled Parent Act! No one should have their child taken away without reasons in the best interest of the child!

[Kelly Donovan @kellgirlsw]

@KBrear @SenLouDiPalma @SenJackReed @SenWhitehouse It was going to be passed but the statehouse closed due to the pandemic.

[Kelly Donovan @kellgirlsw]

Today I learned the Preservation of Families with Disabled Parent Act has yet to be passed due to the pandemic. Once the state budget is determined, we will see what happens. Hoping it becomes a reality. @SenLouDiPalma @SenJackReed @SenWhitehouse

[Kelly Donovan @kellgirlsw]

After this bill is hopefully passed, I cannot wait to hear more news on its effects! I have a feeling it will help a lot of lives! @SenLouDiPalma @SenJackReed @SenWhitehouse

[Kelly Donovan @kellgirlsw]

Kudos to the @sherlockcenter for their Supported Parenting classes/program! Parents with disabilities need access to resources and supports!

@amanda01061 @BarackObama @SenWhitehouse @JimPressOffice Thank you for passing this law! Also, congratulations on your family member fighting addiction, Amanda!

[amanda0106 @amanda01061]

This hits very close to home for me as I have a family member who fought and won the battle against addiction. https://t.co/Imj06pdHM4
Thank you for signing this act into law almost 4 years ago! @BarackObama @SenWhitehouse @JimPressOffice

I wonder if there are any parents with disabilities whose lives have been improved by the passing of the new Preservation of Families with Disabled Parent act in RI. @SenJackReed @SenWhitehouse

@courtcrowley18 @Kiandra_Mata @RISenate @GovRaimondo In some cases, school was a safe haven for kids as they could go there and be away from their parents!

[Courtney Crowley @courtcrowley18]

Please do not lose sight of the children who have been stuck at home in unsafe households amidst COVID-19, as abuse rates have greatly increased. Help end child abuse and protect the lives of our youth. @RISenate @GovRaimondo

[Kelly Donovan @kellgirlsw]

@Kiandra_Mata This needs to be fixed NOW! No more waiting.

@mattyscung @GovRaimondo @Jorge_Elorza @BernieSanders RAISE! THE! PAY! OF! MINIMUM! WAGE! Like you would think people would be on top of this considering how society is learning new facts about how much minimum wage truly provides to everyone.

[MattyIce @mattyscung]

Just finished the #livingwagechallenge $80 lasted 3 1/2 days. How do we possibly expect people to survive on the current fed #minimumwage ? @GovRaimondo @Jorge_Elorza @BernieSanders

[Kelly Donovan @kellgirlsw]

@aguedah14 @realDonaldTrump @PCAAmerica @JimLangevin Has the state or countries passed any new acts or bills regarding this issue? I do not always hear news surrounding this issue or how things have changed (though to be fair, I do not keep tabs on it).

[agueda Hernandez @aguedah14]

Please help stop child abuse #childabuse #everychild #matters #Justice @realDonaldTrump @PCAAmerica @JimLangevin

[Kelly Donovan @kellgirlsw]

@policy2020ric @SenJackReed @SenWhitehouse Amen! Also, I hate how people want to defund Planned Parenthood because it is Pro Choice....it also specializes in safe sex, and scans for diseases!
