Saturday April 20, 2pm.  The Boston Red Rebel chapter will be participating in the Red Rebel International Day of Action on Saturday April 20. We invite you to meet us at the Park Street MBTA station at 2pm on Saturday April 20. Together we will process throughout downtown Boston, MA as a funeral procession with die-ins. The Red Rebel International Day of Action is focusing on the death of life on earth. Go HERE. 

Sunday April 21, 7:00 pm – 8:30pm.  Trees as a Public Good Network (founded by ORMA and its allies) will host a forum on this timely and critically important topic. The webinar (via Zoom) will discuss how to make development truly climate friendly and “green” by preserving the crucial climate services provided by trees in urban areas and in wild forests. To ensure a livable future for all of us, we need trees and the watersheds they sustain alongside development of solar energy, denser and more affordable housing, and other necessary infrastructure. Register here to be kept informed and receive the Zoom link.

We will gather on the Greenway (exact location TBA) at 4pm on Monday, April 22. Join us in celebration, love, and rage for the planet! RSVP Here
