Burlington Electric has fooled us into believing that burning trees (biomass) for electricity is clean and safe. Nothing can be further from the truth. Contact your city councilor today and demand they put an end to the greenwashing! https://t.co/BLeNOHEoCY

9 XR Boston activists were arrested after disrupting business as usual in the MA state house, demanding #NoNewFossilFuelInfrastructure. They played "basketball" & occupied the Governor's Constituent office. Our message to MA gov: Stop playing games. Break ties with fossil fuels.
Yesterday we planned a regenerative field trip to the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. We openly welcomed community members to peacefully enjoy the collection, wearing t-shirts featuring original art linking the loss of 13 paintings from ISGM to the loss of > 1 million species.
TONIGHT (Sep. 7), join us at the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum @ 5 pm to discuss biodiversity loss & reveal original artwork designed for our disrupted 3/18 demonstration: https://t.co/4kT8VnHnoq

BIG NEWS: we profoundly disrupted a speech by United States Vice President Kamala Harris.
As we cried out about the tragic deaths in Hawaii and condemned her fossil fuel crimes, Kamala stood there and laughed.
Horrendous.
We deserve - and we need - actual climate leaders.
The full video is here:
We chose Harvard because they employ Prof Jody Freeman. As a side gig, she takes over $300,000 per year from Conoco, where she is complicit in enabling Joe Biden to ram the Willow Project down our throats.
It's time Joe and Jody stop Willow. Full stop.
I really think this is terribly disruptive & inconsiderate to block a road like this. Don’t the people responsible for causing this know that people have to get to work, get to daycare to pick up kids? Someone needs to be held responsible! We must not tolerate this.
XR Boston and @ClimateDefiance will continue to pressure @Harvard about the Big Oil advocates on their payroll. Press contact in full press release: https://t.co/UWabGOijSx
🚨BREAKING: Activists with XR Boston and @ClimateDefiance disrupt @Harvard climate event, demand they fire @JodyFreemanHLS for sitting on board of @conocophillips and lobbying for Big Oil, while co-chairing Harvard Presidential Committee on Sustainability. https://t.co/UWabGOijSx
UPDATE: we STORMED the Harvard climate forum. We took the stage and occupied it.
We are demanding that Harvard fire Prof Jody Freeman, who takes over $300,000 per year from the company building Willow.
We were so numerous Harvard could not arrest us. We closed down the event.

I am so frightened. Please understand why Just Stop Oil do the protests they do. None of us can survive if this planet collapses. This is really happening and no media is reporting it adequately: https://t.co/wNlKgDLQcY
