I spend a lot of time thinking about how abolition & EJ are intertwined. On a day when I am enraged, discouraged, and sad about how hard it is to make even the most incremental change to address injustice, this was balm for my soul. If you care about CJ and EJ, have a listen.
This quoted post is unavailable.
Excited to join the conversation this afternoon and to hear from all of the speakers, including Roseann Bongiovanni, ED at @GreenRootsEJ and DPU Commissioner @Staci__Rubin. Hope to see y'all this afternoon!
Today's the day! We're excited to welcome folks to the BBA for today's Energy Law Conference. For last-minute tickets and more information, check our site:

Thanks to the tireless organizing of frontline communities, campaigns waged by the environmental justice movement and allies, and round the clock work with allied legislators, we have beaten back this #DirtyDeal and killed it for the 2nd time this year!

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.

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

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

BREAKING: In June, Massachusetts immigrant organizers won a hard-fought, historic victory with the passage of the "Licenses for All" bill by overriding the governor's veto. Now, our community has defended an attempt to overturn the victory at the polls! wbur.org/news/2022/11/09/mas…

Good morning!
@AngryBlackLady here live-tweeting the arguments in #BrackeenVHaaland, the case that demonstrates there's nothing white folks won't complain about when they don't get their way. They want native children and by George, they'll have them, ICWA be damned!
Environmental justice and indigenous rights are intertwined. Don't know about #ICWA? Read up & follow indigenous people who have been sounding the alarm for years. We can't let this case get lost in the election post-mortem.
One of the underlying custody’s cases in Haaland v Brackeen—the story of Baby O—has not been reported anywhere else. And the details are shocking. My latest for the @thenation.

Humbled to have been on this panel with so many powerhouses in our movement family 💕✊🏼
We’ve had some wins for EJ recently — from #Justice40 to the #InflationReductionAct — but we must hold those in power accountable to our demands.
The EJ experts from our Economics of Federal Government Policy panel this afternoon are working to ensure just that!🧵⬇️
