And in RI these drills are a little more than monthly, and the kids can’t be sheltered forever about why they are doing this, and I’m pretty sure they don’t keep kids safer.I see and hear your anger and confess I am numb to these emails - got one this week too. We owe our kids so much better.
Agreed 100% and grateful to my RI legislative colleague Jen Boylan for working to fix this here. I’ve only ever once heard of an age appropriate way to do this… where my kids elementary school said they needed to practice hiding in case a skunk snuck into the building they needed to be quiet.

Tomorrow night, call for white women at 8:30, LGBTQ unity call at 9. This is all great organizing for Harris and I’m here for it (and have registered for both calls).
I think there could be speed limits (20 mph?) in bike lanes/on bike paths. Also if it’s going over 28 mph it’s not an ebike by the standard classifications.
Britain, now France. Up next, winning against the far right: US. 🙏
