We are very excited to announce that the Greenpeace ship, the Arctic Sunrise, is arriving in Boston this February as part of our East coast Coal Free Future Tour!<br><br>This is a great way to highlight and build momentum for our fight for a coal-free Massachusetts and our campaign to shut down America's oldest and dirtiest coal-burning power plants, like Salem Harbor Station in Salem, MA,<br>
<br>America's oldest and dirtiest coal-burning power plants are destroying communities, poisoning our air and water, making our children sick and driving global warming. So far, industry pressure has prevented government from delivering the clean energy that most Americans want. That’s why communities are banding together to shut these plants down now.<br>
<br>Join the movement to get coal out of the way of clean energy, and give our elected officials the courage they need to protect our health and environment. Greenpeace is ready to fight the coal industry alongside the communities that know clean energy and clean air are vital for their health and safety.<br>
<br>That’s why communities like Boston are banding together to shut these plants down now and replace them with clean renewable energy like wind and solar. Greenpeace is sailing up the coast to bring together communities to share strategies, information and solutions, energize local campaigns against coal plants, and support local groups. We’ll be hosting a variety of activities including free open boat tours, marches and rallies, community forums, and more.<br>
<br>Come join us and help build a Coal Free Future powered by wind, solar and communities like yours!<br><br>We have a lot of different events planned, so be sure to check out the RSVP page. And please RSVP if you are interested in attending anything that is going on so that we can get you more information.<br>
