 to hear a proposal to revise XR Boston's Second Demand!\n\n**Vegan pizza w
 ill be served\, please RSVP for an accurate headcount** \n\nXR Boston has 
 4 demands\, developed in tandem with XR Global's demands in 2019. They are
  as follows:\n1. Tell the Truth - The government must tell the truth by de
 claring a climate and ecological emergency\, working with other institutio
 ns to communicate the urgency for change.\n2. Act Now - The government mus
 t take immediate action to halt biodiversity loss and to reduce greenhouse
  gas emissions to net zero by 2025.\n3. Beyond Politics - The government m
 ust create and be led by the decisions of a Citizens' Assembly on climate 
 and ecological justice.\n4. Just Transition - There must be a just transit
 ion that prioritizes the most vulnerable people and establishes indigenous
  sovereignty and remediation led by and for communities suffering environm
 ental injustice.\n\nXR's second demand target date of 2025 was chosen to r
 eflect the urgency of the climate crisis\, to limit warming below 1.5C\, a
 nd to put the responsibility on the United States and Massachusetts as bot
 h a historically large emitter and an economic powerhouse to lead the tran
 sition. Now that we are in 2025\, we are scheduling a People's Assembly to
  hear a proposal to change this demand from net zero by 2025 to "90% emiss
 ions reduction by 2030". Though this is the formal proposal to be heard\, 
 the proposal can be modified based on feedback and discussions from the as
 sembly. \n\nThis will be our first time practicing a People's Assembly of 
 this scale and participation is highly encouraged\, especially folks who a
 re actively engaged in working or affinity groups! \n\nThe assembly will s
 tart at 6PM on July 17th and will last a maximum of 3 hours. If we have no
 t reached a consensus in 3 hours\, another assembly will be scheduled at a
  later date. Please plan to arrive 10 mins beforehand so that we may begin
  promptly. We will be located in the Friend's Room at the Friends Meeting 
 at Cambridge\, 5 Longfellow Park\, Cambridge\, MA 02138
