SUMMARY:Stop Private Jet Expansion Rally
DESCRIPTION:Let’s expose “Sustainable” Aviation Fuels (SAFs) as FRANKENFUELS – the “green” fuels that will come to haunt us!  SAFs don’t justify private jet expansion at Hanscom or Anywhere! \n\n\n\nIt’s rally time\, friends! \n\n\n\nYou’re welcome to – \n\n\n\n\nWear your SPJE t-shirt (or order one here!)\n\n\n\nShow up in your most ghoulish Frankenfuel outfit!\n\n\n\nMake your own SAF protest sign – here are ideas!\n\n\n\n\nLet’s make a statement — visually and vocally! \n\n\n\nFeatured Speakers: Join Senator Mike Barrett\, Chuck Collins\, and Claire Karl Muller for a powerful event on the Massachusetts State House steps as we expose the myth of so-called “Sustainable Aviation Fuels” (SAFs) and say NO to private jet expansion at Hanscom or Anywhere.Click here for more details.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOctober 14th Rally Schedule: \n\n\n\n10:30 AM – Rally begins on the State House steps with speakers12:00 PM – Join us as at the Govenor’s Office as we present our letter urging MA lawmakers to reject SAF policy and subsidies.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Details & RSVP: \n\n\n\n Click here to RSVP + Get Directions\, T Info & Parking Tips \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSAFs are a flawed and false climate solution — \n\n\n\n\nSAFs will not reduce carbon emissions\n\n\n\nSAFs will overwhelm the energy grid\n\n\n\nSAFs will divert public resources from options with far higher CO2 reductions — like fully decarbonizing the electric\n\n\n\nSAFs will lead to food insecurity\, deforestation\, fraudulent use of raw materials mislabeled as “waste”\n\n\n\n\nSAFs are marketed as a climate fix—but they’re based on flawed science and industry hype. From crop-based fuels that take land from food to CO2-intensive production\, SAFs are just another false solution in the Big Polluters’ Playbook: \n\n\n\nAND NOW: “Sustainable” Aviation Fuel \n\n\n\n“Clean coal” \n\n\n\n“Fracked gas as a bridge fuel” \n\n\n\n“Forest management” (aka logging) \n\n\n\nEthanol as “green” gas for cars \n\n\n\nCigarette filters for “healthy” smoking

SUMMARY:Activism that Works!
DESCRIPTION:Do you wonder what resistance actions are the most effective in standing up to the Trump Administration? \n\n\n\nThis interactive 90 minute workshop will present theory and case studies that will help us explore the most effective actions and tactics that can be used to create social change – including addressing the current threat to democracy in the US. \n\n\n\nSpecifically\, we will focus on 1) identifying and putting pressure on primary and secondary targets\, 2) learning about the importance of communicating with unlikely allies and mobilizing passive supporters\, and 3) using creative tactics that draw on cultural resonances of the target audience(s). \n\n\n\nInterspersed with learning and studying campaign case studies will be small group discussions and exercises designed to help participants apply concepts to goals and projects they care most about. \n\n\n\nThe workshop leaders have been social justice activists for many decades\, in movements including anti-nuclear\, anti-intervention\, housing rights\, youth empowerment\, voting rights\, climate change\, and classism awareness and action; and they have studied the research on social movement outcomes. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speakers: Betsy Leondar-Wright\, PhD\, is a long-time economic justice activist whose graduate studies focused on what makes social movements succeed. She is the author of several books\, most recently Is It Racist? Is It Sexist? \n\n\n\nAnne Wright is a long-time social justice activist. Over the last 40 years she has focused on the anti-intervention and environmental justice movements\, and on voter registration and education for low-income youth. The sisters are both co-editors of the Don’t Mourn Organize Eastern Mass substack\, an e-newsletter that recommends action alerts for progressives in the greater Boston area. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nA core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
