It has been decided that the staff of The Providence Daily Dose is in need of a break. We will be taking some time off as we plan our path forward . . . and spending more time with our families of course. Don’t forget to watch the peregrine falcons in their nesting box. The

(4.5) This is a good sign. What better place to kick off our angry blue wave than here at the Hope High School angry blue wave. Our Hands Off! march begins at Hope High (staging pre-march on the fields) then heads down to Kennedy Plaza opposite the federal buildings to make some noise. Do whatever
