Planned Parenthood Votes! Rhode Island Pac Announces Endorsements for the 2020 General Assembly Election Media Contact: Tim Yergeau Communications Manager Cell: 203.815.9825 [email protected] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tuesday, July 21, 2020 PLANNED PARENTHOOD VOTES! RHODE ISLAND PAC ANNOUNCES ENDORSEMENTS FOR THE 2020 GENERAL ASSEMBLY ELECTION Endorsed candidates pledge to champion sexual and reproductive health and rights and continue the progress made in advancing reproductive freedom in Rhode Island (Providence, RI) –– Today, Planned Parenthood Votes! Rhode Island Political Action Committee (PPV!RI PAC) announced the list of endorsed primary candidates for the Rhode Island General Assembly during the 2020 election. These 51 candidates (17 in the Rhode Island Senate and 34 in the Rhode Island House of Representatives) support reproductive rights and access to sexual and reproductive health care. “This is a crucial election year, and Planned Parenthood patients rely on us to protect and expand access to essential sexual and reproductive health care,” said Amanda Skinner, President & CEO of Planned Parenthood Votes! Rhode Island and member of the PAC. “So much is at stake in 2020. Federal assaults on our rights and unrelenting attacks from the Trump-Pence administration demonstrate the critical role state policies play in safeguarding sexual and reproductive health and rights for all Rhode Islanders.” 2019 was a landmark year for reproductive rights in Rhode Island. Among other advancements, the historic passage of the Reproductive Privacy Act (RPA) protected the right to safe, legal abortion in Rhode Island state law against possible federal challenges to Roe v. Wade. This year, in deciding to endorse candidates for the 2020 General Assembly elections, PPV!RI PAC looked at many factors: the current political landscape, legislative priorities, candidates’ records on issues, and the momentous undertaking of bringing the RPA to a vote. Taking those actions into account, the PAC declined to endorse challengers running against the three top leadership incumbents in each chamber nor against an incumbent who voted ‘yes’ on the RPA. The people of Rhode Island overwhelmingly support protecting sexual and reproductive health and rights. Since 2016, PPV!RI PAC has helped elect 15 new voices and support more than 30 incumbents in state elections. This includes a record number of women elected to the General Assembly — thanks, in part, to the efforts of the PAC, 36% of representatives and 42% of senators are women. PPV!RI PAC-endorsed candidates were crucial to passing the RPA in 2019; 17 PAC-endorsed champions elected since 2016 helped secure the four-vote margin of victory in the Senate and the 16-vote margin of victory in the House. “We have made tremendous progress together — not only in passing the Reproductive Privacy Act, but also expanding access to contraception and organizing to protect the rights of Rhode Island’s immigrant communities and residents with disabilities. These achievements, and many others, are thanks to the election of our champions in both houses of the General Assembly,” said Skinner. “We still have work to do, and we need these candidates to help us advance reproductive freedom in Rhode Island.” Legislative priorities include passing the Equality in Abortion Coverage Act to eliminate harmful bans that prevent more than 300,000 Rhode Islanders enrolled in Medicaid and state employees from using their insurance to cover abortion; codifying the essential health benefits of the Affordable Care Act in state law; and providing Medicaid and private insurance coverage for perinatal doula services to help reduce Black maternal mortality and improve birth outcomes. Elected officials who support reproductive health and rights are critical to ensuring these important victories.

  • Bills That Address the Pandemic Passed out of Committee: Health and Human Services Holds First 2021 Meeting
    Bills That Address the Pandemic Passed Out of Committee: Health and Human Services holds first 2021 meeting Josh Miller, Health and Human Services committee chair The Rhode Island Senate Committee on Health and Human Services passed three bills out of committee on Thursday night in its first meeting of the year. The bills would extend coverage of telemedicine and provide coverage for it under RI Medicaid and enshrine certain ACA consumer protections and varying health insurance premium rates based on gender. “Our priority will have bills that are important to address the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Sen. Josh Miller (District 28 – Cranston), committee chair. He continued, “Future meetings will therefore address issues such as nursing home visitation, overdose prevention and access to healthcare in the hardest hit communities.” While most of the bills passed unanimously, many among the public testifying last night were concerned over language in the Sub A of Senate Bill 4. The bill would extend coverage of telemedicine under Rhode Island Medicaid. Some industry groups from different outpatient specialties were concerned that their own field was left out, as only primary care and behavioral health are specified in the bill. Sen. Miller noted that the reason is that the provider networks for insurers were historically inadequate (pre- COVID) for primary care and behavioral healthcare, and that the reimbursement rates were much lower for the providers than other specialties. “Already we have the data, both anecdotal and scientifically, on how access to behavioral health and primary care was improved based on telemedicine during the pandemic.” said Miller. He said not having that parity language for the two fields would be a big step back, especially if reimbursement rates for telemedicine were lower than for in person.

    Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez People Power Meme Co-Op 9/17/18, 719 AM The names of all 626 Berniecrats who have won primaries so far in 2018! WARREN LYNCH · WEDNESDAY, JUNE 20, 2018 For all ye doubters (especially those working at NPR) who keep saying that the Berniecrats and progressives are “losing” the 2018 primaries! There are 626 names here, and 82 of them in FEDERAL races! The number of seated progressives is about to at least TRIPLE this November, so don’t believe the hype! (updated 9/16/18) The list is now annotated! People have been asking me for ages: “WHY do these people count as Berniecrats?” So now there’s a key, from most left-leaning to most moderate: (DSA) - endorsed by Democratic Socialists of America, the leftist group that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is a member of. (even to the left of Bernie!) (Bernie) - endorsed by Bernie personally (LB) - endorsed by Local Berniecrats, a grassroots group with no money that started on the Internet with the goal of making Bernie’s down-ballot dream come true (OR) - endorsed by Our Revolution, either national or a local branch. The organization started by Bernie Sanders. (W) - personally endorsed by me, Warren Lynch. This candidate is a person I know personally, and I vouch for them that they are a progressive. (JD) - endorsed by Justice Democrats, the group run by The Young Turks (PCCC) - endorsed by, or my friend from, Progressive Change Campaign Committee, the progressive group which sent me to DC to learn stuff. Some of their candidates are a bit moderate or not Berniecrats per se, but all are strong bold progressives.
