senior attorney @ACEEJ- building the power of communities of color & low-income communities in MA for environmental justice. | she/they | opinions are mine

[EJLSatACE @EJLSatACE]

I spend a lot of time thinking about how abolition & EJ are intertwined. On a day when I am enraged, discouraged, and sad about how hard it is to make even the most incremental change to address injustice, this was balm for my soul. If you care about CJ and EJ, have a listen.

[EJLSatACE @EJLSatACE]

Excited to join the conversation this afternoon and to hear from all of the speakers, including Roseann Bongiovanni, ED at @GreenRootsEJ and DPU Commissioner @Staci__Rubin. Hope to see y'all this afternoon!

[Climate Justice Alliance (CJA) 🌻 @CJAOurPower]

Thanks to the tireless organizing of frontline communities, campaigns waged by the environmental justice movement and allies, and round the clock work with allied legislators, we have beaten back this #DirtyDeal and killed it for the 2nd time this year!

sending love and rage to the staff and members of our sister organization @GreenRootsEJ and the people of Chelsea & Eastie. we won't stop fighting until we achieve #EJ4MA.

[EJLSatACE @EJLSatACE]

This is why we need siting reform. Despite relentless organizing & overwhelming community opposition, Eastie & Chelsea are a sacrifice zone. The EFSB must be accountable to neighborhoods where energy infrastructure- renewable or fossil fuel- is sited! #NoEastieSubstation

ICYMI: Eversource can now technically begin construction on the East Boston Substation

Yesterday, after a marathon 7-hour Zoom meeting, the state gave the utility permission to bypass 14 local enviro permits it still needed.

[ACE @AceEJ]

The message is clear: Gov. @maura_healey, tell @EversourceMA a dangerous substation in a flood zone has no place in the environmental justice community of Eastie! BIPOC and low income communities are not sacrifice zones. #NoEastieSubstation #NoSacrificeZones

[ACE @AceEJ]

We need siting reform to ensure that EJ communities no longer bear the burdens of our energy infrastructure. In the meantime, we join our sister organization to say #NoEastieSubstation!

[Movimiento Cosecha @CosechaMovement]

BREAKING: In June, Massachusetts immigrant organizers won a hard-fought, historic victory with the passage of the "Licenses for All" bill by overriding the governor's veto. Now, our community has defended an attempt to overturn the victory at the polls! https://t.co/f3GvtnSSpd

*taps mic*

Good morning!

@AngryBlackLady here live-tweeting the arguments in #BrackeenVHaaland, the case that demonstrates there's nothing white folks won't complain about when they don't get their way. They want native children and by George, they'll have them, ICWA be damned!

[EJLSatACE @EJLSatACE]

Environmental justice and indigenous rights are intertwined. Don't know about #ICWA? Read up & follow indigenous people who have been sounding the alarm for years. We can't let this case get lost in the election post-mortem.

[Rebecca Nagle @rebeccanagle]

One of the underlying custody’s cases in Haaland v Brackeen—the story of Baby O—has not been reported anywhere else. And the details are shocking. My latest for the @thenation.

Humbled to have been on this panel with so many powerhouses in our movement family 💕✊🏼

[New Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance @NJEJAlliance]

We’ve had some wins for EJ recently — from #Justice40 to the #InflationReductionAct — but we must hold those in power accountable to our demands.

The EJ experts from our Economics of Federal Government Policy panel this afternoon are working to ensure just that!🧵⬇️

[EJLSatACE @EJLSatACE]

@Kai_Salem @NYCEJAlliance @eddiebautista08 @yeampierre @UPROSE are great places to start
