This Week's News and Updates

Hi all,

Every day, I hear about another crazy wonderful thing that someone is doing
to prepare for the People's Climate March. The variety is astounding --
from bird puppets in the Pioneer Valley to reggae concerts in Cambridge to
street medic trainings in Boston. Each morning I find my inspiration
renewed by the latest video
<http://betterfutureproject.nationbuilder.com/r?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbetterfutureproject.createsend1.com%2Ft%2Fd-l-stlkkd-l-v%2F&utm_campaign=cmwu_9_1&n=8&e=4aec1bdd737b2381bf8a5cea5b7ffe8f09ca1e6f&utm_source=betterfutureproject&utm_medium=email>
about
the march or another amazing selection of posters
<http://betterfutureproject.nationbuilder.com/r?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbetterfutureproject.createsend1.com%2Ft%2Fd-l-stlkkd-l-e%2F&utm_campaign=cmwu_9_1&n=9&e=4aec1bdd737b2381bf8a5cea5b7ffe8f09ca1e6f&utm_source=betterfutureproject&utm_medium=email>
.

Three weeks to go. I can't wait to see you all in New York!

With love and hope,

Emily

Just 18 Days, 23 Hours and 48 Minutes Until the People's Climate March

Less than three weeks until the People's Climate March in NYC! Have you
purchased your bus tickets yet?
<http://betterfutureproject.nationbuilder.com/r?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbetterfutureproject.createsend1.com%2Ft%2Fd-l-stlkkd-l-s%2F&utm_campaign=cmwu_9_1&n=10&e=4aec1bdd737b2381bf8a5cea5b7ffe8f09ca1e6f&utm_source=betterfutureproject&utm_medium=email>
All
the logistical details are on the ticket purchase page, so be sure to read
carefully! Now is the moment to invite friends, family, co-workers and
neighbors to the march. Let's fill as many buses as we can!

Save the Date - Fight for a Koch-Free WGBH

WGBH Boston, one of the country's leading PBS stations, says that its
mission is to "foster an informed and active citizenry" through radio and
TV programs like NOVA. And yet David Koch (yes, *that*David Koch) sits on
WGBH's Board of Trustees and its "Science Visiting Council". This is the
same David Koch who spends millions of dollars each year trying to convince
the public that climate change isn't real. The Kochs' efforts to deny
climate change and undermine climate science should be unacceptable at a
place like WGBH. On October 1st, concerned climate activists will rally
outside the station's annual board meeting to call for a Koch-free WGBH!
Save the date -- details to follow.

Volunteers Needed for the People's Climate March

The People's Climate March on September 21 will be the largest climate
mobilization in history. We're looking for volunteers to serve as bus
captains and help us bring hundreds of people to New York from
Massachusetts for the march!

Are you interested in helping with outreach and recruitment leading up the
march, and then checking people in on the day of? Sign up to volunteer here!
<http://betterfutureproject.nationbuilder.com/r?u=http%3A%2F%2Fbetterfutureproject.createsend1.com%2Ft%2Fd-l-stlkkd-l-g%2F&utm_campaign=cmwu_9_1&n=11&e=4aec1bdd737b2381bf8a5cea5b7ffe8f09ca1e6f&utm_source=betterfutureproject&utm_medium=email>
We're
especially in need of bus captains in Worcester, Boston, Cambridge, and
Amherst.

Stay Connected to 350MA During the People's Climate March

We've created a mass text messaging system to help everyone stay connected
to 350MA before and during the People's Climate March. To join, text
@PCM350MA to 23559. We are also sending periodic email updates to all bus
registrants. If you're planning to make your own way to the march, but you
want to stay updated on 350MA's plans, please fill out this form to recieve
the updates.

Climate Legacy Campaign Update

The 350MA Climate Legacy campaign platform is nearly realized! Coal will be
effectively phased out within the next three years, fracking within
Massachusetts is effectively prohibited, the Patrick administration is
moving forward with preparations for a carbon tax study, and we're holding
the line against new fossil fuel infrastructure. To finish the job, we will
now focus on (1) keeping out more tar sands and fracked gas by pushing for
"clean fuel" and "clean energy" standards, and (2) fighting in the trenches
against the advance of new or expanded gas infrastructure.

 Over the next few weeks, we'll continue our postcard drive outreach effort
and prepare for drop-off events at the State House.  And mark your
calendars: FERC Chair LaFleur, ISO-NE CEO van Welie, and EPA Administrator
McCarthy (!) will be in Boston on Friday, September 19for a special energy
industry event, a fantastic opportunity for 350MA to voice its concerns.
Stay tuned for details!

FERC Hearing on Spectra Pipeline Expansion

Spectra Energy is trying to expand the Algonquin Pipeline, which runs
across four states from New York to Massachusetts, in order to transport
more gas. They want to construct six new loud, dirty and potentially
explosive compressor stations and many new metering stations, including one
across the street from an active quarry in Boston. Hearings with federal
regulators are an important opportunity to express our views on this
unnecessary and polluting new project! The upcoming hearing in Dedham is
the only hearing scheduled for Massachusetts.
*WHAT:* FERC Hearing on Spectra Pipeline Expansion
*WHEN: *Monday, September 8, 6:30pm – 8:30pm
*WHERE:* Holiday Inn Dedham, 55 Ariadne Road, Dedham

MA" node to reflect its geographic range. Congrats on the new name! If

Saunders, erricas at gmail.com.

Protester Health & Safety Training

Major mobilizations are an important tool in political movements, but they
can also be hectic and stressful. In preparation for the People's Climate
March, the Boston Street Medics will hold a Protester Health and Safety
training on Sunday, September 7. The space is mobility accessible, near
Stony Brook Station on the Orange Line, and there is on- and off-street
parking. This session will cover the basics of buddy and affinity group
safety, weather-related illness, police/arrest safety and advocacy, special
needs and chronic illness awareness, and post-action emotional self-care.
The focus of this training is on injury and illness prevention, staying
safe in the streets, and knowing what to do when you don't know what to do.
There is no cost to attend the session, but please RSVP by Thursday,
September 4th at http://tinyurl.com/PCMBosHS. Please email
bostonstreetmedics at riseup.net with any questions.

fossil fuels? On September 11, Michael Klare, director of the Five College
Program in Peace and World Security Studies (PAWSS), will give a talk at
MIT titled "Hot War, Climate Change, & Sustainability". The talk will cover
the connections between global warming, scarce energy resources, and
intensifying conflict worldwide. The event will help to build awareness for
the People's Climate March on September 21 in New York City. Sponsored by
United for Justice with Peace.

Sustainability"
