Peaker Plant Solidarity Standout Rally
Join us in front of the Peabody Courthouse on Tuesday, March 22 from 4:30 to 6 pm for a rally to support five members of 350 Mass Climate Courage who have started a hunger strike to protest against the egregious use of power by governments and semi-government agencies to approve and permit a dirty gas/oil power facility to be built in Peabody. These hunger strikers will be present during the standout. Bring signs and look for members of Social Action and Green Sanctuary Committees. This rally is supported by many groups including UU Mass Action and Breathe Clean North Shore.
Indigenous Peoples Study Group
We have been so inspired by the number of people who have been coming to our meetings and participating in our discussions. The last one on March 6 "Home from School: The Children of Carlisle" was difficult to watch and acknowledge the wrongs of the past but at the same time, we are bearing witness and helping bring the past to light thereby paving the path for healing.
Legislative Action: As we expand our knowledge, let’s also support actions being taken to support Massachusetts Native Americans and ensure their true history is kept alive in our culture and schools. Go to UU Mass Action website Indigenous Rights — Unitarian Universalist Mass Action (uumassaction.org) to learn more about their Indigenous Peoples campaign.
We have many more exciting ideas and plans to continue our studies. We will have a speaker later this month, a possible trip to a museum and another speaker planned for next month. Stay tuned.
