Resuscitating the SciEnRI Twitter feed to plug an upcoming Zoom event:

We asked our penpals for their feedback on the first letter exchange. Here's the inspiration for Dear Rhode Island, in a perfect sentence. 💌 Sign up now for our next round at https://t.co/n2Hb8J3zia.

Safe to say we're pretty "ecstatic" about this new collaboration with @AvenuePVD!

[@SciEnRI @scienri]

But, at the same time, there are many environmental writers who focus on environmental justice and associate BLM with Black Lives Matter first & foremost

But taking a moment to figure out which "BLM" is being discussed seems more prevalent among environmentalists

[@SciEnRI @scienri]

You know you're an environmental writer if...

[Society of Environmental Journalists (SEJ) @sejorg]

... and you probably thought BLM stood for "Bureau of Land Management" ...

[@SciEnRI @scienri]

We're gearing up to host more Zoom events re: writing about the pandemic, healthy inequalities, and climate justice.

@PembrokeCenter has launched a new site that marks the 100th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th Amendment. It also features articles about black women's fight to vote and queer history in the suffrage movement. https://t.co/SknyKrQiS2 #brownwomentogether #WeAreBrownU

Just so we're clear:
Much of Rhode Island's wealth came from the slave trade, and Rhode Islanders have violently protected that wealth.

"Long before the uprising of 2020, it had become clear that the Community Safety Act wouldn’t be enough," @kelto_n writes, reflecting on protests in PVD over the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, & many others

That blue/red line chart is a masterpiece of clarity. Conclusions look highly plausible to me. No one in RI should die for lack of medical care.

.@GovRaimondo, .@RIHEALTH staffs did a good job distilling a lot of complicated information.
