Charlestown Breachway Restoration Project loses funding

Due to a change in climate resiliency policies at the national level, Charlestown was informed by Representative Magaziner’s office on June 4 that our CDS (Congressionally Directed Spending) grant application for the Breachway restoration is no longer under consideration.     The town’s request with Senator Whitehouse is still being considered. That original request for $8.5 million has been denied, but we are hoping to receive an amended request for $7 million. 🤞 Fingers crossed that we receive some funding for this vital restoration project so important to our town and community. 🤞  If you know someone with Republican representation, encourage them to call their Senators and Representatives about the change in climate policy. Climate destruction is real and does not prefer one party over another. It affects us all.

No Kings/Kick Out the Clowns Protest Saturday, June 14, 2025, 12:00pm 248 Post Rd, in the old Benny's Parking Lot, Westerly   **In America, we don’t do kings.**   NO KINGS is a national day of action and mass mobilization in response to increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption from Trump and his allies. We’ve watched as they’ve cracked down on free speech, detained people for their political views, threatened to deport American citizens, and defied the courts. They’ve done this all while continuing to serve and enrich their billionaire allies. 🇺🇸 It's also Flag Day so bring your flag! 🇺🇸 Click below to RSVP and for more info.
