June 22nd: Beacon Hill Lobby Day: Funding for Nature and Climate

Two local organizations are inviting you to Beacon Hill Lobby Day on June 22nd. This is an opportunity for you to encourage legislators to meaningfully address chronic underinvestment of nature and climate, clean up our air and water and landscapes, and build communities that are more resilient to a changing climate. 

This Lobby Day is scheduled while the conference committee is deliberating this month, before the end of the session in July. Your input on June 22nd will help them understand your priorities.

Here are two options for you to choose from:

Join members from Mass Audubon, Mass Rivers Alliance, the Appalachian Mountain Club, and Mass Land Coalition in advocating for nature and climate funding. Meet with your state legislators and tell them why nature matters to you!  Their Lobby Day Kick-off virtual event is on Tuesday, June 21, from 9:30-11:00 am, where they will review talking points and get folks excited. This will be recorded and sent to any participants who can't make the kick-off.  Sign up here.

Mass Power Forward will be sounding the alarm (bring pots, pans, drums, noisemakers) to wake up legislators to do more for environmental and climate justice! They are advocating for air quality, siting reform, housing justice and retrofits, 100% Renewable Energy, a just transition for workers and indigenous justice! Here is the full list of bills on a letter they delivered in May.
