Friends,
We know that 2020 is on track to be one of the warmest years on record,
if not the warmest.
We also know that public concern for climate change is rising, and
that now is the perfect time to act.
And we know that when you take action on climate change, you ease your
climate anxiety, deepen your sense of community, and gain a sense of
empowerment.
There are actions for every skill and interest. Attend a local meeting
(see the grey bar on the right) or participate in an action (below).
Or, take the next step and apply to work with us!
Join us. We know, with 100% certainty, that you're the climate hero we
need.
In solidarity,
Rosemary Mosco

Join the Twitter Storm
Yesterday,
Mothers Out Front organized a twitter storm using the hashtag
#ClimateBillWithTeeth to advocate for a strong climate bill from
committee. You can see (and retweet) these tweets from 350 Mass and allies to help boost the message. Twitter is a great
way to engage with activists and powerholders alike, especially in
these times. If you are on twitter, be sure to follow @350Mass. Send
the @350Mass account a direct message in twitter if you wanted to be
added to our "retweet squad" so you can learn about future twitter
storms before they happen.

Teach-in on New England's Wholesale Power Markets:
New England’s electricity system is more expensive and
polluting than it should be. But the region is moving to achieve its
ambitious climate goals, and we have an opportunity to reshape our
system to promote affordable clean energy, healthy communities, and
climate protection. The AGO is hosting a virtual “teach-in” to help
the public better understand how decisions are made about the markets
today and in the future as we transition to affordable clean energy.
Sign up here. Wed, Dec 9, 10 am.

Solidarity Opportunities
Support Families in the Boston Public Schools During
the COVID Crisis: As the pandemic continues, families across
Boston are feeling the impact of lost jobs and declining incomes. The
Unafraid Educators Committee has partnered with Boston Educator’s
Justice Alliance (BEJA) to establish a Relief Fund for Boston Students
& Families. The fund is available to all families with children in
the Boston Public Schools, and is accessible to all families,
regardless of immigration status or eligibility for other benefits. Donate here.
Support Police Reform at a Critical Moment: The MA
State Legislature has passed a police reform bill that takes serious
steps toward racial justice. It includes common-sense measures
supported by large majorities of Massachusetts residents that would
increase accountability and civilian oversight. The end of session is
coming up fast and Governor Baker must act now to approve this reform.
Send him a letter here.
