Today, to begin #BlackHistoryMonth we uplift Environmentalist John H Francis. #EnvironmentalJustice #Environmentalleaders
As we begin #BlackHistoryMonth ACE would like to uplift #Environmentalist John Francis. John Francis was a stellar example of how to reduce the carbon footprint and "less talk more action" which ACE fully aligns with. More info on our next post... ✊#EnvironmentalJustice
Our Clean Air ROX campaign is ACTIVE! Our #Air Quality work is so important to us as we actively work to identify sources of Air pollution in #Roxbury, work with our @AirPartnersAQ installing #AirQuality monitors, sensors and Air purifiers in our #community & our neighbors homes.
Attention! The Transit Equity Day 2023 Rally for Transit Justice has been #postponed due to forecasts for extreme weather in #Boston. We will update everyone on the new date as soon as it is confirmed!

Dwaign Tyndal of @ACEEJ said if he could ask Mass. residents to make one climate-related resolution, it would be to hold local officials accountable. “Do not forfeit the power of local governance to Beacon Street.” trib.al/284ZfZd

Reps from CJA member orgs @UrbanTilth, @IronboundCC, @GreenRootsEJ, @AceEJ, @weareMEJC, @IENearth & @IPS_DC, went to Congress last week alongside #EnvironmentalJustice allies to oppose Senator Manchin’s dirty permitting deal. The deal was blocked in the House of Representatives.

This is why we need siting reform. Despite relentless organizing & overwhelming community opposition, Eastie & Chelsea are a sacrifice zone. The EFSB must be accountable to neighborhoods where energy infrastructure- renewable or fossil fuel- is sited! #NoEastieSubstation
ICYMI: Eversource can now technically begin construction on the East Boston Substation
Yesterday, after a marathon 7-hour Zoom meeting, the state gave the utility permission to bypass 14 local enviro permits it still needed.

With Brookline's Crystal Johnson presenting "A Black Indigenous Voice: Advancing Climate Justice with Science, Collaboration, Sacred Conservation, and Human Faith." #COP27 @GreenRootsEJ @greenadvocates1 @AceEJ @BostonGlobe @SagamoreBHS @Harvard_Natives
We need siting reform to ensure that EJ communities no longer bear the burdens of our energy infrastructure. In the meantime, we join our sister organization to say #NoEastieSubstation!
Eastie is not a sacrifice zone! We demand the EFSB to uphold the law and build a safe and just future for everyone. More from our Director of Waterfront & Climate Justice Initiatives @oldmanwalkey ⤵️ #NoEastieSubstation

The message is clear: Gov. @maura_healey, tell @EversourceMA a dangerous substation in a flood zone has no place in the environmental justice community of Eastie! BIPOC and low income communities are not sacrifice zones. #NoEastieSubstation #NoSacrificeZones

It's official: WE WON!
Massachusetts chose to vote #YESon4 to uphold the Work and Family Mobility Act as law.
Because of this, all drivers in our state — regardless of immigration status — will now be able to apply for a standard driver's license!
