DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/solidarity-rally-to
 -stop-private-jet-expansion-11/\n\nIn Solidarity with SPJE\, rally organiz
 ers: \n\nPART 1: Join us at 53 State Street\, Boston on Thurs\, November 1
 2th at 12pm to 1pm as we rally to stop private jet expansion at Hanscom or
  Anywhere. We aim to shine a spotlight on one of the developers who is spe
 arheading the proposed reckless\, climate-damaging private jet hangar expa
 nsion at Massport-owned Hanscom airport: Jeffrey Leerink of the investment
  firm Leerink Partners\, whose office is located at 53 State Street in Bos
 ton’s financial district\, where the rally will take place. This will be
  a peaceful\, non-violent demonstration where we do not anticipate any con
 frontation with the authorities.\n\nNote: Before the Rally begins at noon\
 , we will gather on Kilby Street\, at the corner of Kilby Street and State
  Street.\n\nWe will call on developer Jeffrey Leerink to cancel his massiv
 e senseless private luxury jet hangar expansion plans. Hear from great spe
 akers\, hold signs and banners\, sing songs\, make noise and let the Gover
 nor and others who hold the power to cancel the expansion see that – aft
 er three years – we still care more about preserving a livable climate m
 ore than the profits to be made from unleashing thousands of additional pr
 ivate luxury jet flights over Massachusetts.\n\nConfirmed speakers include
 :\n* Sabine von Mering\, 350Mass\n* Chuck Collins\, Private Jet Accountabi
 lity Project at Institute for Policy Studies (IPS)\, and author of the 10/
 13/26 Nation story on Leerink: The Plundering Oligarch You Haven’t Heard
  Of\n* Dr. Susan Racine\, Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibil
 ity\n* Lara Sullivan\, SPJE Project Manager\n* Viella Alkan\, MYCC (Newton
  South)\n* Alex Chatfield\, MC\, SPJE Coalition\n\nPART 2: The Rally will 
 be followed by a walk to the State House around 1pm to deliver SPJE’s Pe
 tition to the Governor’s Executive Office\, now over 15\,200 petition si
 gnatures opposing private jet expansion -- up from 10\,000 petition signat
 ures since October\, 2023! If you have time and are able\, please join us 
 for the approximately 15-minute walk to the State House (the last part uph
