Governor Baker threatens to veto hard-sought Next Generation Climate Road Map bill
Your action needed TODAY (Wednesday, Jan. 13)

Yesterday, we got word that Gov. Baker is seriously considering vetoing the Next Generation Climate Road Map bill by refusing to sign it by the Thursday deadline.

We cannot let this happen. Help urge Gov. Baker to sign this critical legislation by contacting his office today and expressing your strong support for climate action NOW.

Here are the three best ways to get your voice heard:
  1. Calling and email Governor Baker today to voice your support for this critical bill. For contact information and a script, click here.
  2. Ask five friends, family members, or neighbors to join you in calling and emailing Governor Baker today.
  3. Voice your support for the climate bill on social media, and tag the Governor. Find sample tweets here.

We need your advocacy now more than ever. Our movement has come too far for this legislation to be defeated at the 11th hour. Contact Gov. Baker today!

Support for the Next Generation Road Map bill is rapidly growing. Yesterday, the Boston Globe Editorial Board penned an Op-Ed urging Gov. Baker to sign the legislation. This is one of many developments indicating just how popular the climate bill is to advocates and residents alike.
