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:
The March to End Fossil Fuels is in New York on Sunday, September 17th, 2023! It's not too late to sign up for the March, although the pace of ticket sales is picking up; if you want to go on the 350 Mass bus, please reserve your seat ASAP. See info and links here.
A note on accessibility: The march route is 1.3 miles long, paved and mostly flat, in a dense city environment with a fair amount of shade. Drinking water refill stations will be provided, and porta-potties will be set up at the start of the march and at the closing rally, including ADA units & hand washing stations. The rally will have ASL interpretation and space reserved near the stage to see the interpreter. The rally will also have a shaded seating area for those who need it. Everyone is welcome to join any part of the event as they are able, whether that's a part of the march, or the closing rally at 49th St and 1st Ave.
