WFCC at Stop Private Jet Expansion Rally
Yesterday, about 50 of us rallied in solidarity and song at 53 State Street where we called on developer Jeffrey Leerink to cancel his reckless and climate-destructive private jet hangar expansion at Hanscom. Partway through, Boston Police were called out, apparently to disband or move our peaceful event. Our rally’s designated communicator calmly and skillfully ensured that we were able to continue uninterrupted.
Following the rally, attendees walked to the State House to deliver SPJE’s petition to the Governor, now with over 15,200 signatures from individuals across the state and beyond urging her to stop private jet expansion at Hanscom or anywhere. Both parts of yesterday’s rally were covered extensively by CBS in video & print, see above.
This Rally served as a giant push to help reset the climate button after the mid-term elections, and to signal to the developers and the Governor that we’re still here – and GROWING!
