We know we must keep going, and yet how? This gathering we will hear from featured speaker Naia Tenerowicz from the Springfield Climate Justice Coalition on how we ground ourselves and continue, especially in solidarity with environmental justice communities. We will be launching a rapid response team and sharing more about our new priorities for the upcoming legislative session.
Naia Tenerowicz is a grassroots environmental justice organizer based in Springfield. She is on the leadership team for the Springfield Climate Justice Coalition and is a steering committee member of Climate Action Now Western MA. She represents both groups in the Mass Power Forward Coalition. She is currently one of the lead organizers in a fight against Eversource Gas’ proposed gas expansion pipeline from Longmeadow to Springfield, as well as a state-wide legislative campaign for a halt to new gas system expansions. Her work is grounded in a deep care for the well-being of her community and a commitment to anti-racism, guided by the vision of a just transition to a clean, green, renewable energy future that centers people over profit.
