The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention Rhode Island has honored @MASSforRep as its 2026 advocacy champion.

She was surprised with the award at the foundation’s Advocacy Action Day Tuesday at the State House. The award was given in recognition of Representative Shallcross Smith’s efforts to establish and maintain a 988 call center in Rhode Island. She led the initial efforts to create the call center in 2022, sponsoring legislation that was adopted in that year’s budget.

“I am surprised and honored to be recognized by the AFSP,” said Representative Shallcross Smith (D-Dist. 46, Lincoln, Pawtucket). “I will continue to advocate for the 988 Center and other suicide prevention efforts in the General Assembly, and I look forward to working together with you to make those dreams a reality.”

Opinion piece by @MASSforRep in @RhodyBeat: If you can’t fix it yourself, is it really yours?

One of the defining characteristics of American culture is its work ethic. The right to do what you wish with your own property, particularly to fix it, is ingrained in the fabric of our society.

The problem is that it’s getting harder and harder to fix your own stuff.

That’s because manufacturers are increasingly limiting access to the critical parts, tools and documentation we need to fix the products we own. We may not be able to repair our broken smartphone, laptop or farm equipment, even if the fix is simple. Even local repair shops are forbidden from doing the repairs, due to manufacturer restrictions such as software locks and limited parts access.

This has left consumers facing the choice of either replacing products entirely or gambling on the mercy of the manufacturer, which will repair a product at great expense and inconvenience and with a long wait time.

That’s why I’ve made right-to-repair legislation one of my priorities over the past few years. These bills are directed at the right of consumers to repair their own products instead of going back to the original manufacturer for service. Right-to-repair legislation includes bills addressing specific products and those targeting broader categories, such as medical, digital or agricultural equipment.

@MASSforRep and @bridget4ri have introduced legislation to help small businesses in Rhode Island grow while incentivizing Rhode Islanders to keep their investments local.

Their bill would create the Rhode Island Local Investment Tax Credit, which would provide Rhode Island taxpayers a refundable income tax credit of up to $3,000 for half their qualified investment in a local small business.

Said Representative Shallcross Smith (D-Dist. 46, Lincoln, Pawtucket), “Small businesses face a tremendous number of challenges in the modern world, including access to the money they need to compete with larger corporations. But small, locally owned businesses are the businesses we should be supporting. They are our neighbors, they keep Main Street alive, they are sponsoring our Little League teams and they are contributing to what makes each community special. With this legislation, we’re creating a program that provides a new local funding source for them, benefiting both small businesses and the neighbors who invest in them, and creating stronger connections between those businesses and their neighbors.”
