Summer Climate Actions

Shut Down Brayton Point, July 27 and 28th – and the Historic March from Brayton Point to Barnstable, August 28 – September 2.
I’ve put information below – and I’ve added the Statewide People’s Action Assembly on June 30th.

The conference that's not a conference

(posted on behalf of Dick Terry)

Common Cause Massachusetts is proud to partner with the New Organizing Institute (NOI), ACLU Massachusetts, MassVOTE and others to host RootsCamp Massachusetts on April 6-7. RootsCamp is an open space "un-conference" for activists to share lessons learned, discuss best practices, and discover opportunities for collaboration. It's called an "un-conference" because there is no pre-set agenda; instead the agenda is driven by the people who attend.

Roots Camp MA Saturday & Sunday, April 6-7 in Boston
