R.I. State House rotunda stays open during State of the State
The ACLU of Rhode Island settled a federal lawsuit with the state to ensure the State House rotunda remains open for peaceful protests during the Governor's annual State of the State address. The lawsuit was filed after protesters were blocked from access and restricted from speaking during a planned rally before the 2025 address. Under the settlement, the rotunda will be open for public demonstrations at least one hour before, during, and one hour after the address, with the state acknowledging the importance of allowing free speech in this space.
