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

@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…

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 @MiriamWasser @shankman @KateLusignan
