DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/state-house-stand-o
 ut/\n\n~ Ongoing action (each business day) ~\n\nClimate activists are sta
 nding-out in front of the Massachusetts State House to put pressure on Gov
 ernor Healey\, Senate President Spilka\, and House Speaker Mariano to comm
 it to no new fossil fuel infrastructure. Each business day\, 2+ climate ac
 tivists are peacefully and determinedly stationed outside the State House 
 with signs\, flags\, or banners from 9am-5pm in shifts of 2 hours or more.
  We document the Stand-Out with daily photos and stories on [the Stand-Out
  blog] (https://statehousestandout.wordpress.com/) **This will continue un
 til the governor publicly commits to no new fossil fuel infrastructure\, o
 r the legislature passes a law that bans new fossil fuel infrastructure. *
 *\n\nThis is an ambitious goal that requires many people to show up and sa
 crifice their time. For that reason\, it is a powerful tool to show the st
 ate government that we will not stop demanding real climate action. We hop
 e this Stand-Out will become an inspiring coalition of action organization
 s across Massachusetts\, united in the fight for no new fossil fuel infras
 tructure. The Stand-Out is open to all climate and social justice groups a
 nd individuals who agree that MA should stop building new infrastructure f
 or oil and gas. \n\nWe are rapidly destabilizing our climate and ecosystem
  by burning fossil fuels. Scientific studies show it is impossible to keep
  global warming under 1.5C and avoid climate and societal disaster unless 
 there is urgent\, system-wide transformation away from fossil fuels. \n\n9
  months into her administration\, Governor Healey has shown that she does 
 not plan to take the all-of-government effort required to reduce state emi
 ssions as required by MA's own 2021 climate law. **It's up to the people o
 f MA to push our government to take the actions necessary. If not us\, who
 ? If not now\, when?**\n\nTo join the Stand-Out\, attend an upcoming info 
 session or send an email to fossilfuels.standout.ma@proton.me. More inform
