350 Mass Greater Franklin Node meeting scheduled for Thursday, Aug 15 (virtual only)

We will be continuing to delve into the Commonwealth's legislature failing to pass climate legislation.  In particular we will be discussing what constructive strategies and actions our Node can take both on its own and in concert with 350Mass and other allied environmental groups to leverage their doing so during the legislature's current informal session and going forward.

 

We will additionally be discussing strategies for reforming the current endemic dysfunctional behaviors of the legislature.  Please read these articles on some of the causes of this.
