350 Mass Greater Franklin Node, meeting - Thursday, May 20

The Greater Franklin Node of 350 Massachusetts will meet this week, Thursday, May 20th, at 7:00 pm.  Here is the Zoom link: 

Zoom link for the meeting, May 20, 7:00 pm.
Join on Zoom.
Meeting ID: 544 734 092
Password: 350ma 
Audio by phone: +1 646 876 9923  
 
Residents of Franklin and nearby cities and towns are welcome to attend.
 
Meeting Agenda: We will discuss developments nationally, statewide, and locally. We were one of several 350 Mass nodes that held protests against the financing of the Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota; we will consider future actions. We will review the bills endorsed by 350 Mass for the current MA legislative session, and lobbying actions we can take collectively and individually. We will continue our conversation about engaging our region in climate activism: working with residents and like-minded organizations, and advocating for actions and programs by our municipalities, including Franklin. Please join us to learn and contribute.   
 
350 Massachusetts for a Better Future (https://350mass.betterfutureproject.org/) is building a powerful statewide social movement to confront the climate crisis, hold our politicians accountable and undermine the destructive influence of the fossil fuel industry. Our name comes from 350 parts per million, the safe level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. 
350 Mass is made up of several local volunteer-led chapters we call "nodes" around the state that carry out both municipal-level and statewide campaigns, coordinated by a Statewide Steering Team (SST). The Greater Franklin Node includes Franklin and close to twenty nearby communities. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of the month, at 7:00 pm.
 
For questions and information, contact the node co-coordinators, carolyncbarthel@gmail.com and/or ralph.halpern@comcast.net.
