DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/state-house-stand-o
 ut-for-nnffi/\n\n~ Ongoing action (each business day) ~\n\nClimate activis
 ts are standing-out in front of the Massachusetts State House to put press
 ure on Governor Healey\, Senate President Spilka\, and House Speaker Maria
 no to commit to no new fossil fuel infrastructure. Each business day\, 2+ 
 climate activists are peacefully and determinedly stationed outside the St
 ate House with signs\, flags\, or banners from 9am-5pm in shifts of 2 hour
 s or more. **This will continue until the governor publicly commits to no 
 new fossil fuel infrastructure\, or the legislature passes a law that bans
  new fossil fuel infrastructure. **\n\nThis is an ambitious goal that requ
 ires many people to show up and sacrifice their time. For that reason\, it
  is a powerful tool to show the state government that we will not stop dem
 anding real climate action. We hope this Stand-Out will become an inspirin
 g coalition of action organizations across Massachusetts\, united in the f
 ight for no new fossil fuel infrastructure. The Stand-Out is open to all c
 limate and social justice groups and individuals who agree that MA should 
 stop building new infrastructure for oil and gas. \n\nWe are rapidly desta
 bilizing our climate and ecosystem by burning fossil fuels. Scientists hav
 e found it is impossible to keep global warming under 1.5C and avoid clima
 te disaster unless there is urgent\, system-wide transformation away from 
 fossil fuels. \n\n6 months into her administration\, Governor Healey has s
 hown that she does not plan to take the all-of-government effort required 
 to reduce state emissions as required by MA's own 2021 climate law. **It's
  up to the people of MA to push our government to take the actions necessa
 ry. If not us\, who? If not now\, when?**\n\nTo join the Stand-Out\, atten
 d an upcoming info session or send an email to fossilfuels.standout.ma@pro
 ton.me. More information and FAQs [here](https://docs.google.com/document/
