Governor Charlie Baker is a climate failure. Time and time again Governor Baker and his administration have claimed that their hands are tied when it comes to finding solutions to the climate crisis. Whether it is approving faulty air quality permits for the dangerous fracked gas Weymouth Compressor Station, not following proper environmental justice protocol in East Boston, or allowing National Grid to break contracts and allow fracked gas to leak into the air, the Baker administration is polluting our air, water, and communities.
We know the climate crisis is here and now, and we need action here and now.Following the Global Climate Strike on September 20, we are organizing a week of escalated actions against the fossil fuel industry and Charlie Baker's complicit administration to breathe new life into our movement calling for a just and rapid transformation to zero-carbon energy.
Power lies with the people. Organize a stop on "Charlie's Climate Catastrophe Tour" to highlight how Governor Baker's administration and the fossil fuel industry are polluting your community. It can be a rally, march, teach-in, or other action to draw the connections between them.
Join the movement. Attend an action near you. We are kicking off the week by taking "Governor Baker" out of his limo and and onto the T for more than just a one-off photo-op, but on a weeklong tour of the climate catastrophes that his administration has long ignored.
It’s going to take all of us to change everything and there’s no better time to join us. Business as usual is over.
