Meeting ID: 819 3030 4274
Passcode: 350ma
Dial-in +1 646 876 9923
As usual, we will share information about 350 Mass, and discuss and plan for local and state activities. Also, attendees at our Node meeting will share developments in their cities and towns.
This week we will highlight these events:
We will save the latter part of the meeting on Thursday for some social time, in particular to say farewell to Ralph Halpern, our Node co-coordinator (that's me). After about 6-7 years of participating in the Greater Franklin Node, I will resign from the Node because I am moving to a new home northwest of Boston. My wife and I are retired now and plan to start a new phase in a 55-plus condo community with, best or all, closer proximity to our young grandson and his parents. I expect to switch my 350 Mass affiliation to another Node, so I look forward to seeing many of you at rallies and events. As for our Greater Franklin Node, the work continues under Carolyn Barthel's tremendous leadership. In July, emails about meetings and activities will come to you from Node member Steve Derdiarian. If you're already active with the Node, thank you and keep up the good work. If you want to play a role confronting the enormous challenges we all face, I recommend 350 Mass and our Node as a great way to learn and participate.
For more news about ongoing and upcoming events, please sign up for the Climate Weekly email. Also, check out upcoming events on the 350 Mass website.
We look forward to another informative and action-oriented Node meeting. We hope you can join us, in person or on Zoom. We will send a reminder on Thursday.
Our next meeting after this week will be the 3rd Thursday of the month, June 20th.
Thank you.

| 350 Mass Greater Franklin Node: Meeting, Thursday, June 6, 2024 |
- Mass Power Forward Lobby Day, Thursday, June 20. Sign up to join activists across the state. Meet with your legislators either at the State House or in their Districts, to lobby for Mass Power Forward priorities. For details and registration, sign up here. (350 Mass is a leader in the Mass Power Forward coalition.)
- In a related event, on Wednesday, June 12, 12:00-12:45 PM, 350 Mass will devote our monthly "Lunch.Climate.Action." Actionar to "The Art of Advocacy." Join us for more practice at how to effectively explore and enhance our lobby day skills. Information and RSVP here.
- As context for our advocacy for strong climate action by our state's legislature, please take a moment to reflect on the severity of the climate crisis. India is suffering from extreme heat with temperatures above 120 degrees in the capital Delhi, and people and animals are dying in large numbers. In our hemisphere, record heat is impacting much of the U.S. and our neighbor Mexico. We must cram in as much as possible in our climate bill(s)! Massachusetts needs to do its part to push the energy transition!
- MA Climate Legislation Update! June 10, 7:00 PM. For an opportunity to learn about proposed Massachusetts climate change and climate justice legislation, join this webinar by Green Energy Consumers Alliance and The Climate Reality Project, featuring an outstanding panel of advocates and policy experts.
