international climate justice action group, extinction rebellion (xr),
which i've been active with since its founding in 2019.

this *saturday at 6 pm we will meet in dewey square boston*, opposite south
station, to begin our parade and rally. there are many roles you can fill
such as marshals, media makers, press liaisons, banner and puppet carriers,
etc. i make media.

for those who would like to offer a quaker presence, we could meet around
545 in dewey square.

more info *here <https://xrmass.org/action/undertheseaport/>* about
the rally and *here
<https://www.boston.gov/departments/environment/climate-ready-boston-map-explorer>*
about the prospects due to flooding and heat for much of boston. join
tonight at 6 for an online *info session
<https://xrmass.org/action/under-sea-port-info-session/>*. feel free to
email me for more info.

*This action will highlight the absurd climate denial and injustice of
developing a $20B dollar neighborhood on one of the most vulnerable
geographic areas of Boston to the effects of climate change. Over 63
projects have been approved for development in the Seaport, a financial hub
that was built just above sea level from an old port area. It's one of the
largest international development projects after the known effects of
climate change. The entire neighborhood is projected to be below sea level
by mid-century. A single nor'easter is going to cause $1.3B of damage by
2030. Meanwhile, ground is still being broken and billions of dollars are
still being spent every day to create high rise luxury condos for
households that make twice the average household income of Boston. It's
climate denial and an environmental justice nightmare and we will call it
out as such! We need billions of dollars spent on the transition away from
fossil fuels and towards climate resiliency projects, not for the wealthy's
last hurrah before the flood.*
