Senator Rausch to host virtual Youth Town Hall - Mon, Nov 13

Students in grades 8-12 are welcome to attend via Zoom 

Senator Becca Rausch (D-Needham) will host a virtual Youth Town Hall via Zoom on Monday, November 13, 2023, at 7 PM

This Youth Town Hall is a unique opportunity for students from across the Senator's district to participate in the democratic process and discuss their top-of-mind issues. Students will be able to engage directly with the Senator and her staff and help to inform the Senator's legislative work. 

"My goal as a legislator is to listen to all of my constituents, including our young people," said Senator Rausch. "Students come to the table with unique and valuable perspectives and ideas about mental health care, public safety, education, and climate action, among other topics. I am eager to hear their insights and bring them with me to Beacon Hill."  

This virtual Youth Town Hall is part of a series of youth engagement opportunities Senator Rausch and her team have convened. Senator Rausch held her first youth town hall in 2021, engaging with students from across the district about their policy priorities and pending legislation. Students spoke clearly about their need for additional mental health support that was more accessible and confidential. Motivated by their words, Senator Rausch secured funding in the FY22, FY23, and FY24 budgets to create and support Hey Sam – a safe, anonymous, confidential, peer-to-peer text service designed for and staffed by young people to give youth an accessible place to turn for mental health support.  
Senator Rausch's Youth Town Hall is open exclusively to students in grades 8-12, inclusive, who live or study in Bellingham, Dover, Franklin, Medfield, Milford, Millis, Needham, Norfolk, Plainville, Sherborn, or Wrentham. 

For more information and to register, please visit www.beccarauschma.com/townhalls.  

Senator Becca Rausch represents the Norfolk, Worcester and Middlesex District, comprised of Bellingham, Dover, Franklin, Medfield, Milford, Millis, Needham, Norfolk, Plainville, Sherborn, and Wrentham. Now in her third term, Senator Rausch serves as the Senate Chair of the Joint Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, the Senate Vice Chair of the Joint Committee on Children, Families, and Persons with Disabilities, and the Vice Chair of the Senate Committee on the Census.

We want to remind you about the March to End Fossil Fuels, in New York City on September 17. 350 Mass is one the many partner organizations from across the country.  World leaders are gathering in NYC at the UN Climate Ambition Summit to demand that nations stop developing new oil, gas and coal projects and begin phasing out fossil fuels once and for all. In the largest climate march since the pandemic began, thousands will gather to demand President Biden declare a climate emergency and take bold action on climate. Fill out this form to RSVP and get involved with the protest. 350 Mass is organizing buses from Greater Boston to NYC; read more here, and follow the link to reserve a space. Note that you can indicate your interest in having a bus leave from Franklin. Ticket sales end September 1. For more information, visit end fossil fuels.us


This week we will continue to discuss the status and action plans for our priority campaignsMake Polluters Pay and Emissions Free Buildings.  


We will also review recent actions by 350 Mass' Climate Courage working group. These actions are part of national campaign to pressure those banks that finance the fossil fuel industry and expansion of its coal, oil and gas operations. 


Read about other upcoming events in the 350 Mass Event Calendar, including open discussions organized by the Charter Review Committee; the Committee welcomes and appreciates your input to help 350 Mass function as effectively as possible.  Also see updates in the Climate Weekly email (sign up for it here).

As always, we will discuss 350 Mass' campaigns for 2023-24, and review local and statewide developments and opportunities in climate and energy advocacy. 

Earlier this month, 350 Mass selected our campaign priorities for the next two years: Make Polluters Pay, and Emissions Free Buildings. To help all 350 Mass nodes in their efforts, the organization is holding a Campaign Planning Workshop via Zoom, April 12, 6-8 PM. View information and register here.  

Thanks to everyone who participated in last week's special session, Drop the Dirty Banks! We learned how banks are financing and enabling the climate crisis, and discussed how to identify which banks are "dirty" and which are not, and what we can do as individual consumers and as organized groups of citizens. A recording will be available soon.

To learn about actions and events like these, subscribe to the 350 Mass email newsletter. Also, see the Calendar of Upcoming Events on our website.
