John --

Despite our hard-fought progress, most energy in Massachusetts still comes from fossil fuels that disproportionately hurt low income communities and people of color - polluting our air and water, harming our health, and further disrupting our climate. We need to ensure that Massachusetts is powered by 100% renewable energy.

On Tuesday we have a chance to act. The joint Committee on Telecommunications, Utilities, and Energy just announced a hearing on several key pieces of environmental legislation that will push us towards a more renewable future, including H.3092, filed by Rep. Decker and Rep. Garballey. 

Send an email to your legislator, asking them to support a 100% renewable Massachusetts!

This bill will commit Massachusetts to 100% renewable electricity by 2035, and 100% renewable energy across all sectors (including heating and transportation) economy wide by 2045. 

Here’s how to act:

1. Attend the hearing at the State House on Tuesday, July 23rd at 1pm in room B-1 (wear your 350 Mass T-shirt!) 
2. Contact your legislator and ask them to attend the hearing and stand in support of Reps Decker and Garballey and / or submit written testimony to the committee. Send an email to your state legislators now!

A 100% renewable Massachusetts is possible, and is a key part on the Road to the Green New Deal. We must take action now. 

Onwards,

Alan Palm for 350 Mass
