DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/cop28-light-box-pro
 cession/\n\nThere is no lack of government inaction on the climate crisis 
 in 2023. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts did not stop building fossil fu
 el infrastructure. Over the summer\, there were disastrous floods in the w
 estern and central parts of the state. Why didn’t the Healey administrat
 ion and the legislature take the bold steps necessary to curb carbon emiss
 ions?\n\nYet COP 28 will inevitably be one of the year’s biggest disappo
 intments. The annual UN conference is taking place in the United Arab Emir
 ates. The CEO of the state oil company will preside over the conference wh
 ich is supposed to tackle the climate crisis.  The Emirates are one of the
  world's biggest producers of oil. They have received long-sought permissi
 on from OPEC\, the coalition of oil-producing nations that coordinates on 
 output and prices\, to pump more oil starting next year. [(1)](https://www

 ow.html)\n\nIt is the classic situation of the fox being in charge of the 
 chicken house. How did this happen?\n\nJoin us for a light box procession 
 with the Red Rebels on Friday December 8 at 5:30pm. We will be mourning th
 e lack of climate action and the death of life on earth. On our route are 
 sites of climate inaction and areas of privilege. The XR Boston art group 
 built the light boxes. Each is decorated with an ecological theme.\n\nCurr
 ently\, we have Red Rebels attending\, but still need participants to carr
 y the light boxes. If more people join\, we will have die-ins as well. Dre
 ss in black. Looking forward to having you there.\n\nSign-up on this page 
 so we can better plan the event. Also\, we will notify you if the event is
  canceled because of bad weather. The rain/snow date is Friday December 15
