As always, we will discuss 350 Mass' campaigns for 2023-24, and review local and statewide developments and opportunities in climate and energy advocacy.
Here are a few additional items and actions for your attention. These petition drives are still active.
· 350 Mass Campaigns: We are now focusing on two priority campaigns: Make Polluters Pay and Emissions Free Buildings. Learn more here.
· Read about other upcoming events in the 350 Mass Event Calendar, and in the Climate Weekly email (sign up for it here).
· Petition Drive and Social Media Campaign—Gas is the Past: Our new Governor, Maura Healey, wants to address climate change as one of her main goals. Mass Power Forward is asking her to declare that there's no future for gas in Massachusetts. To get her attention, we need 10k petition signatures! Sign the petition here and share widely. See our social media toolbox full of tips and instructions to get you started. How do we want to contribute to this effort?
· MBTA petition: Organized by Transit Matters. Petition: MBTA's FY 2024-2028 Capital Investment Plan (CIP) fails to make meaningful progress on key projects like Regional Rail, Red-Blue Connector, and bus electrification. Tell the T to go back to the drawing board and deliver a better CIP. Petition here.
· Campaign: Hold Big Banks Accountable. Organized by Union of Concerned Scientists. Letter to state treasurer to hold big banks accountable. Sign here.
· Campaign: Protect the Fair Share Amendment! Last November, Massachusetts voters passed the Fair Share Amendment for a fairer tax system that will raise more than a billion dollars for transportation and education. Sign the letter from Mass Fair Share to state senators.
