From: The Black Lives Matter Rhode Island Political Action Committee (BLM RI PAC)
The Black Lives Matter Rhode Island Political Action Committee (BLM RI PAC) is calling on Governor Dan Mckee to take a decisive step in addressing the underrepresentation within the Rhode Island District Court. With progress in diversifying district state courts moving at a sluggish pace, the appointment of Kas De Carvalho offers a golden opportunity to accelerate the shift towards a more inclusive and equitable judiciary.
The issue of underrepresentation within district state courts has persisted, with the pace of change falling short of our expectations. This presents an opportunity that should not be missed: the appointment of Kas De Carvalho to the Rhode Island District Court.
Emphasizing the paramount importance of diversity, we underscore the vital role it plays in fostering a justice system that people can trust. When those in positions of power reflect the diverse makeup of the community they serve, society is better served, and faith in the system is strengthened.
The lack of representation is a pressing concern that cannot be underestimated. By increasing the percentage of diverse individuals within our district courts, we can begin to fill this vacancy, providing the representation and justice that our community deserves. Such opportunities are rare, and we firmly believe that Kas De Carvalho is as qualified, if not more so, than any other candidate on the list.
The Black Lives Matter Rhode Island Political Action Committee urges Governor Dan McKee to recognize this unique opportunity and appoint Kas De Carvalho to the vacant position within the Rhode Island District Court. This appointment is not only about addressing the underrepresentation issue but also about ensuring that our judiciary better reflects the diversity and values of our community.
