@amywestervelt #ExtinctionRebellionBoston 20 members of XRB are sitting in MA Governor Healey's office as she has ignores please for her to follow MA environmental laws so far. Healey has refused to stop projects she can easily direct her agencies to stop using current laws. Environmental Justice, or Nah, Healey? #mapoli

Pictured: the view from outside of the Governor's office looking in... you can see some of the XRB folks sitting on the floor.

Bwaaaahahahahaaa, Governor “climate” Healey of MA is getting fully protested RIGHT NOW for not doing a damned thing about unneeded and unjust gas infrastructure. #mapoli

UPDATE: 14 members of #ExtinctionRebellionBoston were arrested last night! Story by Samantha Gross:
