While our activists face off with swarms of police officers at the construction site of East Boston's proposed substation, let's chat a little about WHY this project is so devastating. #NoEastieSubstation #Neversource 🧵
Chelsea Creek floods in storms. When waters rise, electricity from East Boston substation could create dangerous explosions yards from a playground, only a few hundred feet from Massport’s jet fuel storage. We risk our bodies today to save our community tomorrow. @maura_healey
Residents of East Boston were promised green space for outdoor recreation. Instead we're getting a dangerous electrical substation, with increased industrial pollution from the nearby airport and highway, regional stockpiles of jet fuel, and road salt. @maura_healey @EEASecretary

Why are we blocking @CharlieBakerMA's driveway with a big pink boat? Because, at every single turn, he chooses to make his fossil fuel buddies rich, endanger the health of communities, and send us all hurtling into climate apocalypse. Read on for specific examples (THREAD)
@CharlieBakerMA He allowed Weymouth Compressor Station to bypass any meaningful environmental or health review, over strong objections from the community. It regularly belches methane into the surrounding air, which is known to cause asthma and accelerate global heating. wbur.org/news/2020/10/1…
He is currently forcing a new methane-burning power plant on Peabody (a town long hit with environmental injustice crimes), again with no meaningful environmental or health review, and against strong local opposition. massclimateaction.org/clean_the_peak

Happening now! The pink boat has landed at Governor Baker's house, just above sea level (for now). Rebels have locked on. We demand climate justice and a declaration of climate and ecological emergency. The time to act is now. #ActNow #ClimateEmergency #ClimateJustice
