FOR YOUR ATTENTION: THIS WEEK: Mass Power Forward Lobby Day, Thursday, June 20.  Sign up to join activists across the state on our decentralized lobby day and meet with your legislators around Mass Power Forward's priority bills. Learn more and RSVP here.. (350 Mass is a leader in the Mass Power Forward coalition.)    

Also, looking ahead to July: Climate Justice Can't Wait—Rally and March in Boston, Saturday, July 13. Join our Mass Power Forward coalition and our youth allies from Mass Youth Climate Coalition as we march on the State House to demand climate justice. RSVP here. Sat, Jul 13, 1 pm, Boston Common Bandstand, 139 Tremont St, Boston.

 

On a personal note, as I wrote in the notice of the previous meeting,  I (Ralph Halpern) am resigning 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.

 

Thank you.
