The Boston Green Justice Coalition is a partnership of community groups, labor unions, environmental
organizations and other allied organizations who are building a broad-based effort in support of a
sustainable, equitable and clean energy economy in the Boston region. We are dedicated to ensuring
that our region’s growing green economy will create quality jobs, healthier communities and energy
savings for low income residents.

Join us in supporting this exciting and innovative campaign. Flyer below.

The most recent science tells us that unless we can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million we will cause huge and irreversible damage to the earth. Solutions exist. Come and listen to the possibilities.

The issues UUs have chosen to lobby for this year are “Global Warming” and “Hunger & Poverty”. Between 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m we will hear from Rev. Bill Sinkford, Dr. Charlie Clements and Rev. Kim Crawford Harvie on these topics. If you rarely talk face-to-face with your legislators this is an excellent opportunity! It's a great time to get training on how to communicate effectively with legislators for church members too! At one o’clock we will visit our state Senators and Representatives.
