PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — On the fourth anniversary of the U.S. Capitol insurrection by supporters of president-elect Donald Trump, Rhode Island leaders are speaking about that day and their duty ahead.

From Rhode Island Congressman Gabe Amo:

In a political landscape often characterized by division and partisanship, U.S. Rep. Gabe Amo (D-R.I.-1) stands out as a beacon of hope and a champion for unity. Elected to represent Rhode Island’s 1st Congressional District in a special election, Amo became the first person of color to represent the constituency.

In an exclusive interview with the AFRO, Amo said that his freshman year was “eventful.”

PROVIDENCE – U.S. Rep. Gabe Amo, D-R.I., has co-introduced a resolution “to unleash the potential” of distributed ledger technologies, or DLT, such as blockchain to support the federal government’s diplomatic and security goals, urging federal agencies “to explore and support the development and application of DLT” and expresses Congress’ “commitment to advancing responsible innovation.”
