DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/no-eastie-substatio
 n/\n\nJoin us for a protest against the proposed substation in East Boston
 \, which is just one of many examples of environmental racism in the great
 er Boston area. \n\nLet's make it colorful and wear your favorite red swea
 ter or a fire-themed costume. Substations can explode and catch fire when 
 flooded.\n\nWe will march from the State house to the Boston City Hall Pla
 za with a stop at the Energy and Environmental Affairs Office. We demand f
 rom the responsible leaders to "Pull the plug on Eversource!" Please bring
  a small appliance (or a phone charger) to symbolize that. \n\nSome backgr
 ound on the status on the Eastie Substation Approval Process:\n\nThe EFSB 
 is currently deliberating the public “hearing”. Hundreds of people log
 ged on\, more than 50 testified\, speaking out against the substation. The
  local community provided expert options from across the field. Not a sing
 le person spoke in favor of the project. The EFSB whipped off any evidence
 \, that has been brought forward during the hearing. Instead of filling th
 e vacant environmental seat (previously Dr. Shalanda Baker)\, we gained Ev
 ersource’s attorney. An decision is expected on Feb 22. \n\nIn solidarit
 y with Greenroots\, we demand to restart the approval process of the Easti
 e substation with true community engagement\, reopen the question of the p
 roject’s need and\, if needed\, move the substation to the airport.
