UPDATE!
Because of the predicted storm on Saturday, the Rally For Climate Justice is now scheduled for this Sunday, July 14 at 1:00 pm on the Boston Common.
We Don’t Have a Budget Yet and the House has yet to Pass A Climate Bill.
Contact your Rep! Once again the Massachusetts Legislature has failed to finish its budget in time. Several bills have passed one chamber or the other. In the State Senate, Senator Brownsberger lent his support to a plastics reduction bill and a climate omnibus bill which includes a halt on gas expansion and transition from gas. The State House has yet to act.
350Mass is urging the following: email your Representative and urge them to push for a major house climate bill centered around environmental justice, a halt on gas system expansion, and a transition from gas! We’re still worried there might not be a House bill, or that it may be very narrow in scope. See the 350Mass (regularly updated) guide to take action! We know that our Rep. Steve Owens (617) 722-2460 has been a champion so thank him. If Rep. John Lawn is your rep maybe he will do the same. Ask him! (617) 722-2430)
