 de-conference/\n\n*Solidarity event with Fore River Residents Against the 
 Compressor Station*\n*Please note this is a two-day conference\, 11/20-21\
 , hours below*\n\nEnbridge\, the Canadian company pushing the fracked-gas 
 compressor station in Weymouth\, is a lead sponsor of this year’s “Ene
 rgy Trade and Technology Conference.” The event will be taking place on 
 Wednesday and Thursday\, November 20-21\, at Boston’s Seaport Hotel. Thi
 s is a great opportunity to let them know that their toxic presence isn’
 t welcome here or anywhere. \n\nSince Enbridge has spent significant money
  to be a platinum sponsor at the event\, we want to give them their money
 ’s worth of bad publicity by picketing the entire event. The people Enbr
 idge wants to impress need to know that we won’t just sit back and watch
  them build this monstrosity in the Fore River!\n\nNot only would the comp
 ressor station further pollute the dangerous air quality of the Fore River
  Basin\, but it would allow energy companies to export fracked-gas to Euro
 pe and accelerate global warming. Now that the utilities have said the com
 pressor station isn’t needed\, and the people won’t let them build it\
 , let’s hammer the message that the compressor station is a STRANDED ASS
 ET.\n\nThe conference will be held on Wednesday\, November 20 from noon - 
 7:30PM and on Thursday\, November 21 from 7:30AM - 2:30PM.  We are plannin
 g a peaceful protest and picket with signs to cover several entry points o
 f the hotel.  Please fill out [this form](https://bit.ly/2CHOKlw) to let u
 s know if you or your group could stand outside to hold signs for a period
  of time on either day of the conference. We won't be able to cover the wh
 ole conference\, so we encourage groups to show up with signs whenever the
 y can. Email us with questions: nocompressor@gmail.com. Thank you!\n\nYou 
 can sign up with FRRACS on the form above  if you just wanna stand out wit
 h signs for an hour or two\; if you would like to sign up with the XR cont
 ingent to do something a little more planned\, please do so here.
