“Pressure Our Reps: Pass a STRONG, JUST Climate Bill”

Kudos to Mass Power Forward for this comprehensive Action Guide

“On Tuesday, June 25, the State Senate passed a major climate bill… that did not include any of the top priority provisions demanded by the Environmental Justice Table. On top of this, rumors are circulating that the House is considering passing a skinny climate bill, if they pass one at all. Now is the time to contact our representatives and let them know that this is unacceptable – we need a STRONG and JUST climate omnibus bill, signed by Governor Healey, that prioritizes Environmental Justice communities, workers, and a speedy transition away from gas.

See this blogpost for our analysis of the Senate Bill.

ACTION SUMMARY

  1. Find your Representative.
  2. Send them an email asking them to take action. Sample email below.
  3. Follow-Up with a phone call. See the sample script below. 
  4. Consider meeting with your Representative, if you have a close relationship. A meeting with them in the next two weeks (before 7/12) could help swing their vote.
  5. Consider bird-dogging your Representative. See the guide below to learn more!

Also, consider having your organization co-sponsor our rally on July 13th– we will need to push the conference committee to reconcile the two bills into one strong and justice centered bill to send to the Governor’s desk.”

Here are email templates, phone scripts, LTEs, and recruitment docs, prepared by Mass Power Forward.
