Contact your legislators today and ask them to cosponsor our five priority bills!

Mass Power Forward is taking bold action in 2025 to put people over corporations—and we want you to be part of it! From making big polluters pay up to stopping utility profiteering and improving air quality for impacted communities, these priorities were chosen by hundreds of coalition members across Massachusetts.

The future is in our hands—let’s fight for a cleaner, fairer Massachusetts together!

More about the three campaigns and their five corresponding bills that have been proposed in the MA state legislature:

Make Polluters Pay - H.1014/S.588 is a bill that requires the worst carbon emitters to contribute to a Superfund to pay for climate-related damages in Massachusetts. Fossil fuel companies have knowingly endangered our world for decades, putting our lives and livelihoods at risk – they should be responsible for the damages. The Climate Change Superfund will provide funding for projects across the Commonwealth that keep our communities safe from the impacts of climate change.

Protecting People from Utility Profiteering - Instead of heeding the dire call to rapidly transition away from climate polluting methane, for-profit utility companies like Eversource continue to recklessly expand the gas system, especially into environmental justice communities, peddling false solutions to justify their detrimental decisions. These for-profit corporations then spend our ratepayer money lobbying our elected officials to increase their profits by endangering our communities' health and safety.

• H.3547/S.2290 is a bill that protects communities and ratepayers from expensive, new methane infrastructure such as large pipelines and gas fired power plants, while furthering a just transition for displaced workers.

• H.3400/S.2239 is a bill that makes energy more affordable by prohibiting utilities from gouging us for their political activities and lavish expenses.

Better Air Quality for Environmental Justice - Your zip code should not determine access to clean air. Overburdened environmental justice communities experience disproportionately high levels of air pollution, indoors and outdoors. Living in air pollution hot spots exacerbates health issues like asthma and places yet another burden on communities that already host more than their fair share of polluting industries and infrastructure.

• H.2369/S.1548 is a bill that establishes a technical advisory committee to identify air pollution hotspots, lays the groundwork to implement enhanced air pollution monitoring systems, establishes a baseline for air pollution and leads to the installation of high-quality filtration in high-risk areas. The bill also creates targets for air pollution reduction in hot spots - 50% below baseline levels by 2030 and 75% below baseline levels by 2035.
• H.2427/S.1546 is a bill that creates a task force to develop guidelines that address indoor air pollution and mold contamination, with a focus on high-risk buildings and improved processes for indoor air quality remediation.
