Join us for our second annual May Day of Action in Boston on Tuesday, May 20th! Together we will take a stand for crucial legislation to bring Massachusetts away from the climate crisis and nuclear disaster. The message is simple: No Massachusetts money should fund the climate disaster. No Massachusetts money for weapons of mass destruction.
Who: You! We need you to make your voices heard. It is crucial that the legislature hear from you. No experience necessary! Lobby training and briefings on priority legislation will be provided.
What: The event will include a kick-off briefing, advocacy meetings with legislators in teams of activists, and option to participate in a closing rally. This is an opportunity to directly advocate for the future you want.
Where: Boston, at the MA State House. Rideshare opportunities will be available from the Western Mass/Pioneer Valley Area.
Why:Â The Massachusetts Public Fund (State Pension) is investing our money in the climate crisis and in weapons of mass destruction. Both of these industries actively cause humanitarian and environmental devastation, and pose existential threats to our planet. This is a vital opportunity to push for crucial bills to move our Massachusetts’ money out of these apocalyptic industries. There is no time to waste and the legislature needs to be pushed to take action. Now!
When: Tuesday, May 20th, 12-3:30pm followed by rally.
Schedule:
12PM – Gather in the State House
12:30PM – Briefing from legislators & organizers
1PM – 3:30PM – Advocacy meetings with the Legislature
3:30PM – Rally begins outside the State House
Last year we gathered over 30 advocates and spoke with 30 offices. Join us this year as we stand even stronger for action against the climate crisis and nuclear risk. This day of advocacy will focus on measures to divest the state public fund from weapons of mass destruction and climate chaos. Details about our priority bills can be found here and more information will be shared with lobbyers.
Please RSVP to attend. I hope to see you there!
