> It is the official last week of thespring semester at RISD and while our Providence streets and studios wouldtraditionally be energized with student exhibits, critiques, and commencement,as you are aware, our physical campus remains closed.? Still, our students,faculty and staff remain active, armed with what President Rosanne Somersonrecently called on the?At a Distance?podcast,?new knowledge on how we share information, how we celebrate, how we thinkabout our own safety in recognition of everyone and how that is inextricablylinked.?

While the hope is to host an in-person Commencement ceremony once we cansafely do so, this virtual event is a way to honor our new graduates,?whodemonstrated extraordinary talents to achieve their projects in new andinventive ways,?as they earn their degrees from RISD.

> As an organizer for Sunrise Providence, Emma Bouton ?20 planned to participate in a mass strike on Earth Day to protest the lack of political action taken to combat climate change. But before that could happen, the coronavirus pushed the United States indoors and the movement?s organizing online.?
>
> So instead, Bouton participated in a virtual rally and a calling day to state representatives for Sunrise Providence ? one hub of the national youth-led movement fighting for political action on the climate crisis.

> | Hi David,
> It continues to be my intention to move into Phase 2 on June 1 --- provided that the data tells us it?s safe to do so. As you know, phase 2 is a big step forward. We?re going to see a reopening of most sectors of our economy. I hear every day from folks who are anxious to know what the new rules will be so they can prepare. Today, on ReopeningRI.com we will be posting new guidelines for personal services guidelines and youth sports. I know there?s a lot of interest in how we?ll be bringing these operations back, and so I just want to briefly give you an idea of what the new rules will be.? |

> | Personal Services: In Phase Two, we're going to begin reopening personal services like haircuts, manicures, and tattoos under new rules:
>
> - There will be capacity restrictions.
> - Reservations will be strongly recommended.
> - Use of waiting areas will be discouraged.
> - Everyone will have to wear face coverings and wash their hands.
> - More stringent cleaning rules will be in place.
> - Businesses will retain names and phone numbers of customers for contact tracing purposes.
> - Customers will have to maintain 6 feet of social distancing.
>
> While these are going to create a much different environment than we're used to, this isn?t forever. This is for Phase Two, and if we all follow these rules, I?m hopeful that we?ll be able to continue moving forward with reopening more of our state safely.?You can read more about the rules at ReopeningRI.com.
> Youth Sports: Sports are so important for kids? development. Not only is physical activity critical, but it also teaches values like determination, teamwork, and resilience.?To that end, we?ve been working around the clock to be able to enable youth sports this summer in a way that?s safe, and I?m excited to announce that we will be able to begin youth sports during Phase 2, which we expect will begin on Monday. As with everything else, we need new guidance and safety precautions in place to keep kids, parents, and coaches safe.?
> Beginning in phase 2, youth sports may resume with stable groups of 15 people or fewer, including adults. As we?ve mentioned, there unfortunately cannot be games or tournaments. If multiple of these stable groups are interacting, then it defeats the purpose. I know that?s hard to hear, but it?s important.
> For at least the next month, the focus should be on practices and scrimmages within these stable groups.?As with everything else, social distancing is important. Adult leaders should be at least six feet apart at all times, and kids should be six feet ? and ideally 14 feet ? whenever possible. These are going to be tough rules, but they're necessary to keep our kids and families safe. You can read more about the rules at ReopeningRI.com.

> Rental Assistance: A few weeks ago, I announced $1.5 million for a fund that has supported hundreds of families repay their owed rent, but we know the need is even greater. Today, I?m announcing an additional $5 million for the emergency rental assistance fund. This money is available to available to low-income renters who have been impacted by the COVID-19 emergency and are at immediate risk of homelessness. Those who qualify can receive a grant of up to $5,000 to support past due rent payments and other fees. Go to HousingHelpRI.com to view requirements and apply, or call 211 and they?ll help you.?

> In addition, we have been in constant dialogue with the courts regarding evictions. They are planning to begin hearing cases again next week. However, the court initially will only be hearing evictions that were initiated prior to COVID ? anything filed before March 17. And the courts have told us that no COVID-related evictions will be heard before July 1.?
> There?s no question that this crisis has hit hardest for those who can least afford it. My top priority is reopening our economy safely and getting Rhode Islanders back to work. We know that reopening the economy won?t happen overnight, and we will need to continue to support the most vulnerable.?We know we need a longer-term solution, and I hope to be back with more to say on this front in the coming weeks.? |

Tomorrow, I plan to talk about where we stand with all of the metrics we?re monitoring so that you can see the fruits of your labor. By cooperating with each other, we can beat COVID-19 and build a stronger, more resilient Rhode Island.

> Traffic problems and street safety is a huge concern in our neighborhood, and it's only gotten harder during COVID-19, as fewer cars on the road have too often meant more speeding. I've advocated for traffic calming and crosswalk improvements together with many of you, and it's time to hear from the City's Department of Public Works and Planning about how these plans are moving forward.
>
> We'll kick off the meeting with a conversation specific to proposed improvements for Knight Street and then discuss other concerns throughout the neighborhood. We'll be joined by Director Leo Perrotta and Nate Urso from the Department of Public Works, Martina Haggerty and Alex Ellis from the Department of Planning, and?Captain Luis San Lucas and Lieutenant Ernie Forlini of the Providence Police Department.?
