Come on Massachusetts, let's get this carbon removal law passed before July 4th!

We need citizen activists to make this happen. Can you join us?

Massachusetts is on the brink of passing one of the most exciting, climate science-aligned pieces of carbon removal support legislation in the world. The Carbon Dioxide Removal Leadership Act (S. 2096) has already passed through committees in the State Senate and State House. Now we need to make sure that that the bill is included in a big climate package that is being negotiated right now by legislators. We only have a few more weeks to get this done!

BUT S.2096 WILL NOT PASS WITHOUT DIRECT CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT WITH KEY LEGISLATORS. WE NEED YOUR HELP TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.

Here are 2 high impact actions that all Massachusetts residents can take right now to support our campaign to make S.2096 law:
