Hello Friends,
The day has finally
come.
The “Act creating a 2050 roadmap to
a clean and thriving commonwealth” S.2500 has been released from the Ways and Means Committee, and we are
expecting to have the amendments we are seeking submitted in the next
hour.
Please call/email your
Representative AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to urge them to vote for the Road
Map Bill Amendment H.4912 as well as Environmental Justice Bill
H.4264.
If you have not done so already,
please
join Mass Power Forward’s rapid response team so that you can help us act fast and rally
support for our amendments in the few hours we will
have this evening and tomorrow morning before the bill comes to a vote.
Rep Dave Rogers submitted Amendment
17 to the Road Map bill to specifically include landfill emissions,
gas leaks, and emissions from the agricultural sector. Rep Lindsay
Sabadosa will be submitting an amendment to speed up the reporting and regulation
process to be more in line with science. Rep Robinson will be submitting an
amendment to invest in working and environmental justice communities.
And Rep Adrian Madaro will file an amendment with the Environmental
Justice language from bill H.4264.
Sign
up to be notified once the amendments have been
submitted.
We cannot let the Massachusetts
House rush an ineffective bill by us. Thanks to committed activists
like you, we are ready to fight to steer Massachusetts towards climate
justice.
In solidarity,
Sam Payne 350 Mass for a Better Future
