Millennial Rhode Island is a generational network inspiring millennials to . We as "Millennial Rhode Island" (MRI) wish to see this trend change.

Our state has prodigious universities and unparalleled technical programs producing a skilled and educated workforce. These young up-and-comings are often burdened with student debt, underemployment and lack of hands on experience in the field of their choosing. MRI wants to focus on keeping young talent here in the state. Whether it be through looking at more business/entrepreneur friendly statewide policies or tackling the crippling student loan issues facing our generation, MRI wants to make sure that Rhode Island is both a destination and a home. We want to demonstrate statewide and nationally, that the 300,000 millennials that reside here are invested in improving Rhode Island and we are worth being invested in.

BE HONEST: How many lanternflies did you take out this summer? 😂

Summer is officially over, so we asked Rhode Islanders at our End of Summer Social the question that really matters.

The answers did not disappoint.

Drop your final lanternfly body count below. 👇

Only in Rhode Island would this be a serious question… 😂🌉

If you HAD to be stuck on one RI bridge, which one are you choosing?

We put attendees at our End of Summer Social on the spot with Escalante Creative—and naturally, we had to ask one more important question:

🗳️ Have you voted?

Rhode Island’s Primary Election is tomorrow, September 9. If you haven’t voted yet, make a plan to get to the polls and make your voice heard.

Then come back and settle the other important debate. 😂

👇 Drop your bridge in the comments + tell us if you’ve voted!
