DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/no_eastie_substatio
 n_actionar/\n\nBACKGROUND: Eversource is attempting to build an electrical
  substation in a residential area of East Boston\, in a flood zone next to
  the Chelsea Creek\, yards away from a playground\, within 800 feet of 8 m
 illion gallons of jet fuel. This neighborhood has already been overburdene
 d by pollution from the nearby highway and Logan Airport. Substation explo
 sions are frequent occurrences: one exploded in Burbank CA on April 10\, 2
 020\, and another exploded in Madison\, WI in July 2019. This substation m
 ay not even be necessary!!\n\nThe Union of Concerned Scientists performed 
 a study which concluded that the East Boston neighborhood could develop su
 fficient solar capacity to power 2000 homes\, for a lower cost than buildi
 ng the substation. This alternative would directly benefit the community\,
  and improve emergency resilience. The environmental justice organization 
 GreenRoots has been actively opposing the substation for years\, and they 
 could use our support!\n\nACTION: Take action with us! You can join us at 
 7-8pm tomorrow to take a series of online actions all at once. Or  you can
  participate in a coordinated online action each day using the 'for more i
 nformation' link below. \n\nFOR MORE INFORMATION: bit.ly/noeastiesubstatio
