Charging Up Massachusetts
There's lots of energy at work in Massachusetts. I have to admit, I'm a little surprised—after a stunningly high-stakes legislative session and two huge Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court decisions ( Case 1: kids sue state to win climate regulation; Case 2: unlikely allies team up to tell the Governor he can't tax us for new fracked gas pipelines) I was expecting things to slow down a little.

Solid as a rock Rooted like a tree I am here Standing strong In my rightful place
This is the song that was sung by community organizers from across the country to kick off the Moving Forward Network’s (MFN) annual meeting in Portland in early February. The two-day convening brought together over 50 port activists representing 10+ U.S. inland and coastal ports, as well as large distribution centers.
I attended the meeting, alongside Kim Gaddy, Clean Water Action Environmental Justice Organizer, and Jenny Vickers, our
