Boston RISE for Climate, Jobs, Immigrant Rights, & Justice

September 8, 2018 @ 11:30 am - 8:00 pm

On Sept 8, a coalition of over 35 faith, labor, racial justice, immigrant rights, youth, climate action, and environmental justice groups are coming together in East Boston to accomplish two goals:

  1. Halt the proposed Eversource electric substation that threatens the community.  This project must be reevaluated and offer a more inclusive process for community input, including adequate language translation.
  2. Join forces across movements to build long-term collective power for Climate, Jobs, Immigrant Rights, and Justice in MA. We demand:
    1. 100% Clean and Renewable Future
    2. Economic Opportunity for Everyone
    3. Prioritizing a Just Resilience, Relief and Recovery
    4. Union Wages that Support a Family
    5. Pollution-Free Communities and Workplaces
    6. Protection of Workers
    7. Dignity, Respect, & Permanent Protection for all Immigrants
