Dial-in +1 646 876 9923
Agenda Topics to include:
Sign up for the October 5 Save Money with Clean Heat Brainstorming event. Zoom only. Register here.
Mark Dyen's thoughts about the 2027 SMCH campaign.
Massachusetts Peace Action: RALLIES AGAINST THE WAR ON IRAN, 10/3, in Boston, Foxboro and Springfield. RSVP here.
350 Mass in Honk Parade: HONK! is an annual activist street festival that culminates in a march down Mass Ave from Davis Square, Somerville to Harvard Square, Cambridge. This year, we're marching along with so many other community organizations, activist groups, bands, and street performers. RSVP Here.
How the Save Money with Clean Heat rally/petition drop and literature drop Sept 23 went.
All we know is the conference committee is far apart. Call your reps tonight or tomorrow!
ACT NOW: call your state representative this week. As legislators negotiate the final energy affordability bill, cuts to Mass Save and new eligibility barriers could leave everyone with higher bills and fewer ways to lower them. Ask them to protect Mass Save funding, preserve self-attestation, and end wasteful GSEP spending in the final bill.
Use the phone script to make your calls. Voicemails count!
PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHEN AND WHOM YOU'VE CALLED. WE NEED TO KNOW HOW SUPPORTED THIS ACTION IS.
See you THURSDAY NIGHT!
With gratitude,
Carolyn, Rand and Steve
