"You can pray until you faint, but if you don't get up and try to do something, God is not going to put it in your lap." Fannie Lou Hamer, born this day in 1917. #Faiths4ClimateJustice @greenfaithworld @CJAOurPower @interfaithpower @FightFossils @KeishaBlain @KHayhoe @RevYearwood
Governor-Elect @maura_healey: Listen to the voices of Eastie residents. Prioritize creating livable and healthy communities for all to thrive. Do right by EJ communities and uplift the #NoEastieSubstation campaign in your 1st days in office.

It's not complicated. #ClimateChange is immoral. It's theft by the rich from the poor, exploitation of the most vulnerable by the most protected. That's why we talk about #ClimateJustice. @CJAOurPower @IENearth @ECJP_NAACP @GreenRootsEJ @interfaithpower
@greenfaithworld @hmcghee
And it's no accident that the great majority of those most harmed are people of color. #SystemicRacism #EnvironmentalRacism #Colonialism

As people of faith, we believe in the moral call to care for our neighbors & protect the environment.The #DirtyDeal would roll back bedrock protections that keep our health, communities & environment safe. @SenMarkey We urge you to reject this dangerous deal.
"We live on a planet that, though degraded by the greed of Big Oil, still has such heart-searing beauty . . . where people love and protect each other, family and strangers both. It’s a good world still, and worth the defending."--@billmckibben #ActiveHope billmckibben.substack.com/p/…
This is why the #environment and #justice can never be separated. #EnvironmentalJustice #HeatIslands @CJAOurPower @GreenRootsEJ @Trees_Boston @MysticMyRWA
"The south Bronx was 8F (4.5C) hotter than the Upper West Side and Upper East Side, some of the city’s richest neighborhoods, just a few miles away."

Thank you @MassGovernor for signing this landmark bill. Thank you @jeffroy @senatorbarrett @RonMariano @KarenSpilka for your hard work. Most of all, thanks to everyone who called, emailed & took to the streets to demand #ClimateAction. We'll sleep easier tonight. #MovementsMatter
The #MAClimateBill has been signed by @MassGovernor!! ✅🙌 This is a huge moment for our movement & a testament to the hundreds of groups & thousands of residents who have been fighting for #ClimateJustice and #CleanEnergy in MA. Thank you for your tireless commitment.
Do you live in Massachusetts? Do you have 30 seconds to protect our children and the most vulnerable people on the planet? That's how long it takes to call or email @MassGovernor and urge him to #SignMAClimateBill. #ActionNotAgita #ClimateEmergency @MAPowerForward @MassClimate
Keep calling, Tweeting, emailing @MassGovernor who is on the fence and might not #SignMAClimateBill.

#ClimateChange means seawater will reach the only grocery in East Boston, endangering food security. #KingTides offer "a glimpse of our near future...and they're showing us where we need to protect our communities." @JulieWormser @MysticMyRWA @GreenRootsEJ providencejournal.com/story/…
Call @MassGovernor now to ask him to #BlowUsAway and #SignMAClimateBill! Office is open from 9-5 (617) 725-4005. 💨💨💨💨
Please contact your state rep & senator ASAP to stop Massachusetts from subsidizing polluting #biomass plants as green "renewable" energy. Burning wood for fuel is NOT a #climate solution! #EnvironmentalJustice @TeamPFPI @MassClimate @MAPowerForward actionnetwork.org/letters/ov…
Are you a Massachusetts resident concerned about the #ClimateCrisis & #EnvironmentalJustice? Please send this letter to Gov. Baker urging him to sign the #climate bill as passed. @MAPowerForward @TeamPFPI @MassClimate @350Mass @MassSierraClub actionnetwork.org/letters/si…
#Climate-driven drought is killing millions of children in Africa. It is immoral: the nations most responsible for #ClimateChange ignore it while the poor who are least responsible for it suffer & die. @CJAOurPower @ECJP_NAACP @HipHopCaucus @interfaithpower @greenfaithworld @350
Nearly half of Somalia's estimated population of 16 million face acute food shortages because of a severe drought and a sharp rise in food prices due to the war in Ukraine. @malinfezehai and I traveled across Somalia to meet the devastated families. nytimes.com/2022/06/11/world…
The MOPR policy maintained by @isonewengland is effectively a fossil fuel subsidy that keeps out-of-date, polluting power plants like Merrimack Generating Station in Bow, NH on our grid. It's 2022 -- @FERC @RichGlickFERC it's past time for no more coal and #NoMoreMOPR

You wouldn't think this would be a controversial take, but here we are. #ThouShaltNotSteal
The fossil fuel industry has no right to pollute our air, degrade our planet's habitability, kill ecosystems and people, cause the sixth mass extinction, and destroy the collective future of humanity #EndFossilFuels

Denying intervenor status to public-interest groups blocks them from participating meaningfully in decision-making. It rigs the system in favor of #fossilfuels. It must not stand. @MassGovernor @EEASecretary @MassAGO @rltepper @AcadiaCtr @CLF @SustainABR @cpealesloan @MassClimate
Climate advocates say they are repeatedly being shut out of a state-run process that will determine the future of natural gas in the state — a process that so far has been led by the industry itself. bostonglobe.com/2022/03/31/s…
