 nRain date: 8/29 1:00 PM\n\n### News Alert: it's getting hotter. Boston wi
 ll be under water!\n\n***Join us*** for a very **visual and vibrant specta
 cle in the Boston Seaport**. We will disrupt business as usual in the neig
 hborhood with plenty of art\, song\, chant\, costumes\, a band\, and an XR
  display \;-) *We will be filmed as part of a new documentary by an enviro
 nmental journalist from the Boston Globe.*\n\n### Boston Seaport = Climate
  Denial and Injustice\nThis action will highlight the absurd climate denia
 l and injustice of developing a $20B dollar neighborhood on one of the mos
 t vulnerable geographic areas of Boston to the effects of climate change. 
 Over 63 projects have been approved for development in the Seaport\, a fin
 ancial hub that was built just above sea level from an old port area. It's
  one of the largest international development projects after the known eff
 ects of climate change. The entire neighborhood is projected to be below s
 ea level by mid-century. A single nor'easter is going to cause $1.3B of da
 mage by 2030. Meanwhile\, ground is still being broken and billions of dol
 lars are still being spent every day to create high rise luxury condos for
  households that make twice the average household income of Boston. It's c
 limate denial and an environmental justice nightmare and we will call it o
 ut as such! We need billions of dollars spent on the transition away from 
 fossil fuels and towards climate resiliency projects\, not for the wealthy
 's last hurrah before the flood.\n\n### How can I participate?\nWe have a 
 LOT of roles to fill with fun art and banners. Check the list here and wri
 te your name down for a role (in order of preference) HERE: [Seaport Roles
  List](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11tCy9kX-5p-rv6nfShTLTpzRK4o
 8MoCleJAWtTgEYq8/edit?usp=sharing)\n\nOtherwise\, help us make a mockery o
 f the seaport and dress in half business attire and half beach attire (you
  choose which half!) and we'll parody the flooded commutes to be. Otherwis
 e\, just wear blue :)\n\nMasks are recommended due to the recent increase 
 in COVID cases.\n\n### The Seaport was coined the "Innovation District"\, 
 but we're going to call it out for what it really is: the "Inundation Dist
 rict"
