DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/taking-back-our-ene
 rgy-grid/\n\nISO-NE\, our grid operator\, is subservient to the fossil fue
 l industry\, and needs to be liberated. We're holding a rally and theatric
 al battle on Nov. 1 at 12:00 p.m. at the South Boston Maritime Park\, bare
 ly a skip and hop from the only public ISO-NE board to be held this year\,
  taking place at the Seaport Hotel Boston.\n						\n350 Mass’s Climate C
 ourage\, Fix the Grid\, Third Act are inviting you to participate in a liv
 ely street action that will send a clear message to ISO- NE\, the press\, 
 the governor\, and the people of this region. We are calling for the agenc
 y to throw off the dark influences of the fossil fuels industries\, and sh
 ift its mission and governance to one that offers clean\, safe\, renewable
  energy\, advocates for conservation\, and is administered by and for the 
 people of New England. There will be speakers and music to address these p
 oints at the rally.\n						\nThen\, we will commence with a theatrical str
 eet battle. We will walk over to the corner of D Street and Congress. Ther
 e will be brief skirmishes in the street\, during the WALK signals. The sk
 irmishes will be between the forces of a green future represented by human
 s with (human sized) wind turbines and suns\, doing battle with skeletons 
 (our future)\, grim reapers (industry lobbyists\, and in this instance\, e
 scaped methane)\, and men in suits (representing the ISO board and fossil 
 fuel executives).			 											 				\nThose supporting each team will hav
 e encouraging\, loving\, or money grubbing chants to fortify their sides. 
 There will be much boasting and shouting as the two sides discuss their la
 st skirmish\, then a renewal of the battle between good and evil during th
 e next WALK signal. We will conclude our action by marching down to the do
 or of the hotel\, and letting them know we are there.\n						\nWe would lo
 ve you to be part of the street theater. If interested\, please contact Ju
 dith at: storiesalive@gmail.com.\n						\nLet us know if you are able to p
 rovide a skeleton or grim reaper costume. We will have a few on hand. And 
 we hope you can provide a business suit if you want to represent ISO and t
 he forces of the fossil fuel industry. Be ready to grab a wind turbine\, o
 r sun on a stick if you’d like to participate in creating a renewable fu
 ture. (This is not a civil disobedience event\, no arrests\, just fun)\n		
 				\nIf you simply want to attend the action\, please let us know by sign
