The COVID pandemic is hitting us hard. Racial injustice, economic disparity, and climate change are hitting us even harder.
So, we’re going on strike.
We are still burning coal in New England for electricity, and we are all paying for it.
The most vulnerable people in our communities, especially Indigenous, Black, and other people of color, are even more at risk from the pandemic, pollution and economic injustice right now.
Burning coal is a nonessential, immoral act that increases risk of respiratory illness and damages the planet.
It’s long past time to close the last big coal plant in New England, the Merrimack Generating Station in Bow, NH.
