The Rhode Island Green Infrastructure Coalition, a coalition of over 50 non-profits, businesses, and government agencies focused on managing stormwater with natural methods has been very active in Rhode Island, focusing on projects to manage stormwater, research, and policy changes to make it easier to implement green infrastructure.

We are partnering with the City of Providence and specifically the Providence Parks Department, to create Rhode Island’s first Stormwater Innovation Center in Roger Williams Park.

Whether you're a mom, or appreciate a mom in your life, we want to see you at a film screening of No Country for Mothers on October 22 at 6 PM!

Roger Williams Park Conservancy is hosting a screening of this impactful documentary created by @momsfirstus about what motherhood looks like in America today, at the @rwpbotanicalcenter. 

Joining us for the screening and a Q&A panel after the film are representatives from local organizations @collectiveactionri, @rikidscount, and @unitedwayri. This open dialogue and opportunity for resource-sharing is designed to embody the film's premise: that motherhood in America is not a private struggle but a collective one. 

This event is free and open to the public! Learn more and RSVP online (link in bio): https://www.rwpconservancy.org/event/film-screening-of-no-country-for-mothers/
