Our Current Priority Campaigns

 

Make Polluters Pay is a campaign to create a climate superfund, penalizing the worst polluters of greenhouse gasses and funding resilience and adaptation projects in communities most impacted by climate change. 350 Mass joins Better Future Project and other groups like CREW (Communities Responding to Extreme Weather), Mass Youth Climate Coalition (MYCC), and more to drive a grassroots campaign to hold polluters accountable. The fund will raise billions of dollars over 25 years from the largest polluting companies. This influx of funds will enable the commonwealth to prepare for the coming climate impacts, guided by the vision of the communities with most at stake.

This campaign is part of a national push to Make Polluters Pay! Our friends in Vermont and New York have already won their climate superfund campaigns, and we're building on their success along with Maryland, California, Minnesota, and more. In Massachusetts we are already building power through municipal resolutions, resilient community envisioning sessions, and more. We have municipal resolution victories from Boston to Pittsfield, with more on the way!

Fight climate change without breaking the bank. The Save Money with Clean Heat campaign aims to cut carbon emissions from all 2 million MA homes to net zero by 2050, saving the average homeowner $2,000 per year without any tax increases. This campaign supports legislation that will move Massachusetts off its dependency on gas and towards a safe, clean, and climate-friendly energy future. To win, we're going to lobby, rally, and teach our communities.

You can support the Save Money with Clean Heat campaign by reaching out to legislators and sharing the benefits of the campaign. We can add yet more strength by bringing town leaders, like mayors, selectboard members, or municipal sustainability officials to submit testimony or resolutions in favor of the campaign.

Take Action: Call and email your Mayor or Select Board and ask them for a written letter of support for the SMCH legislation addressed to Rep. Cusak and Sen. Barrett, and the Chairs of the Telecommunications Utilities and Energy (TUE) Committee! Need inspiration? Use this guide!
