Had the same thought, though I'm not sure it was for the same reasons. It's really hard to become part of advocating for this without a more solid response about it backfiring. Fingers crossed. Valuable cause.

Yeah I agree it’s a great cause. I hope the final language of the law that gets passed is close to air tight. I just know from experience that the most “toxic” person in the workplace is the same person that would claim to feel targeted, left out, and discriminated against. I’m talking about boomer straight white guys while the act explicitly states that women, BIPOC and LGBTQA+ are mostly the victims of workplace abuse. I’m also aware that cause for concern is not a great reason to not do something. There will always be those who abuse a program and weaponize a well intentioned law. But if the program is helping more than those that are seeking to exploit, then that is a good measure for success. I hope the folks putting this thing together understand and take this concern seriously so RIers get the protection the deserve
