The future of RI politics? A more-diverse General Assembly

‘What we are witnessing is the mainstreaming of Black and brown communities across this country,’ one activist says

By Edward Fitzpatrick Globe Staff, Updated October 30, 2020

“When he began tracking the number of elected leaders of color in Rhode Island 25 years ago, Latino activist Tomás Ávila counted just one Latina state legislator and a dozen Black legislators, accounting for 9 percent of the General Assembly, which then had 150 seats.

On Tuesday, the number of legislators of color could jump from 15 to 20, which would represent 18 percent of a General Assembly that now has 113 seats.

Ávila said that would give Black and Latino lawmakers more political power than they’ve ever had in Rhode Island.”

‘What we are witnessing is the mainstreaming of Black and brown communities across this country,’ one activist says.
