Protest Newport Preservation Society's Lawsuit Against Clean Energy

Start: Thursday, September 19, 2024 6:45 PM

Join Climate Action Rhode in demanding that the Newport Preservation Society drop its obstructionist lawsuit against offshore wind development. The lawsuit threatens Rhode Island's ability to meet its clean energy goals and end our dependence on foreign oil. Their Newport Mansions are already worth over eighty million dollars and the organization is run by some of Rhode Island's wealthiest people. Yet they are suing the Federal Government in an attempt to win a multi-million dollar settlement from the offshore wind companies, which is money Rhode Islanders will end up paying in higher electricity bills. They refuse to discuss their lawsuit with us so we are taking our demands to them and protesting their $750/per person fundraiser. Read more about it in CARI's recent Boston Globe Op-Ed and sign our petition against the lawsuit here.
