Node Meeting, Thurs 1/9 – Winning in 2020: getting climate bills passed and climate advocates elected

Please join the 350Mass Metrowest Node on Thursday, January 9, at First Parish of Sudbury, 327 Concord Rd, Sudbury MA, at 7:00pm
We can’t solve our climate problems without major legislative changes. Join our Node meeting on January 9 to learn how you can help (1) get good climate bills passed by this summer year and (2) elect better folks to the House in the fall, so we can additional legislation passed next session. We’ll discuss the latest legislative progress and prepare to converge on the Statehouse on January 14 for a climate “Lobby Day”. We’ll discuss what we can do to help a bunch of progressive candidates replace incumbents in the House in the 2020 elections, and to help Senator Ed Markey, our climate hero, keep his seat, despite a primary challenge. We will outline an action plan for the MetroWest chapter of 350 Mass Action, which does the electoral work.
Come with your questions about how direct action works, how it is organized, what are its dilemmas, risks and benefits. Join us and bring a friend! First-time visitors are especially welcome. Come learn, share, vent, discuss, plan and act!

All are invited to participate in the breakout groups for the local initiatives as well as in the informal planning group that meets on dates prior to the monthly meeting. There will also be a chance for participants to share news and announcements from their organizations and municipalities. Arrive early to mingle. Light refreshments will be available.
