Massachusetts voters just elected Maura Healey! In addition to being well-qualified (she is currently our Attorney General), she will be the country's first out lesbian governor & the first woman elected to the office in MA.
(There may be 2 lesbian governors elected in the U.S.--stay tuned to results in Oregon where Tina Kotek will hopefully also win her race.)

XR Boston plays basketball in halls of MA State House to demand Governor ban new fossil fuel infrastructure
On Monday September 18, more than 30 climate activists from Extinction Rebellion Boston (XR) played a creative version of basketball in the halls of the Massachusetts State House, to demand that Governor Maura Healey "stop playing games with our future." The activists split into two "teams," one team representing the government (with sponsorship logos for fossil fuel companies on their jerseys) and the other team representing "New Fossil Fuels". On the second floor outside Governor Healey's office, activists made raucous throwing and dribbling motions, while shouting as if in game-play. Meanwhile, other activists playing the role of Massachusetts residents as spectators carried banners and shouted for the game to end. Spectator chants included: "Commonwealth, you’re breaking the rules, don’t pass the ball to Fossil Fuels! You’re our home team, we must win! It’s our planet, go all-in! Fossil fuels, aren’t you ashamed? It’s our future, not a game! We see your fouls to make a basket, there’s no games on a dead planet!"
These activists managed to disrupt business as usual for a full afternoon. After a long game, the crowd of activists occupied the Governor's Constituents office for two hours until eight arrests were made. During the occupation, they chanted together and sang protest songs in high spirits. As arrestees were led away, their cohorts sang "Courage [activist's name], you do not walk alone, we will walk with you, and sing your spirit home."

During the occupation, they chanted together and sang protest songs in high spirits. As arrestees were led away, their cohorts sang "Courage my friend, you do not walk alone, we will walk with you, and sing your spirit home."
Extinction Rebellion Boston's demand is No New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure in Massachusetts.
Banning new fossil fuel infrastructure includes:
NO new fossil fuel power plants
NO new residential or commercial gas connections
NO new or expanded natural gas distribution pipelines, transmission pipelines, or compressor stations
NO new liquified natural gas production facilities, storage facilities, or terminals
NO new gas stations or other gasoline and diesel infrastructure
NO new airports or airfield expansions
Stopping new fossil fuel infrastructure under development includes:
MMWEC’s Peaker Plant in Peabody
NEC’s Liquified Natural Gas Facility in Charlton
LNG expansion to Douglas
L.G. Hanscom Airfield's North Airfield Development in Bedford
"Modernization" projects in Lowell and Worcester
"Reliability" projects in Western Mass. and Sharon-to-Brockton
The Hopkinton-Ashland Transfer Line
Meter stations in Longmeadow and Charlton
Why are we using creative disruption? Asking nicely hasn't kept humanity safe from the effects of climate change, neither has writing letters and petitions, neither has hopes and prayers. The global average temperature for July 2023 is confirmed to be the highest on record for any month, and August 2023 was the hottest August in recorded history. We gasp through wildfire smoke, and our neighbors to the north wade through floodwaters. What more will it take before our government takes action?

Massachusetts Attorney Gen. Maura Healey has won the Democratic primary for governor. She is set to face extremist Trump Republican Geoff Diehl in the general election in November.
If elected, she will become the first openly LGBTQ governor of the state.
Attorney General Maura Healey won the Democratic primary for Massachusetts governor on Tuesday, bringing her one step closer to becoming the first openly gay candidate and first woman elected to the state’s top political office — eight years after she was elected the nation’s first openly gay attorney general.
[ ... ]
Diehl, the favorite among state Republican Party delegates in Massachusetts, has ties to Trump stretching to 2016, when he served as co-chair for Trump’s presidential campaign in the state. Trump lost Massachusetts by almost 30 percentage points in his two presidential campaigns. Diehl has also opposed COVID-19 protocols and hailed the Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade.
FiveThirtyEight gives Maura Healey a >99% chance of beating anti-abortion fanatic Diehl.

While I definitely would’ve preferred Sonia Chang-Diaz, I’m proud of our first woman and LGBTQ person elected governor!

Don't mind us, just wiping the happy tears! We at Extinction Rebellion Boston are honored to fight another year for No New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure, for the end of biodiversity loss, and for immediate government response to the climate crisis. We've been lucky to collaborate with other great organizations and activists, while we continue to grow as a chapter.
Let's celebrate 2023 for the triumphs and lessons learned, and march with courage into 2024! Have you partied with us at the State House yet? Have you sung with the climate carolers? Have you marched in the streets? XR Boston wants you!
