Please contact your State Representative to help Mothers Out Front accomplish its goal of ensuring “a swift, complete, and just transition away from fossil fuels and toward clean and renewable energy.”
The Massachusetts two-year legislative session is scheduled to end on July 31. We have less than two weeks to bring meaningful climate change legislation to a vote in the House this session. Our children cannot wait 2 more years for bold climate action. They cannot afford to have us yield the field to the fossil-fuel industry and their misleading “Mass Coalition for Sustainable Energy,” who are lobbying House leaders to stop bold climate legislation in its tracks.
Immediate Action:
