Mass Power Shift

What does: “Climate solutions, Green Jobs, & Green Justice for Massachusetts & Beyond!” Have to do with

“666 Registered!”

They’re both talking about Massachusetts Power Shift.

This weekend, Boston will be filled with some of the most inspiring and dedicated activists in the state. The MAPS coalition is youth driven, but has brought in community leaders, congresspeople, families and activists from many causes. This is the coalition that is leading the fight for climate solutions.

We also have John Kerry, Ed Markey, CNN, green jobs presentations, community planning sessions and lots of live music.

I want to salute the more than 50 people who have met regularly in person and on the phone for months to pull this together. Specifically, Craig Altemose from the SSC for his bold leadership, Vanessa Wright, Alana Miller, Rouwenna Lamm with MASSPIRG for their hard work. And Jay, Elizabeth, Melina, Rachel S., Rachel H, Caroline, Greg, Zo, Jeff, Lizzy, Chris, Saffron, Yoni, Elisa, Andrea, and at the risk of leaving people out, please check the website for the full planning team
