The event–not your typical lecture–will bring together friends and allies from across the climate movement and beyond to explain how together we can confront the fossil fuel industry, using lessons from the most successful movements of the past century and the past year of dramatic new actions against the industry across the country.

350 New England Convergence
Nov. 17 & 18 in Boston


On November 17 and 18
Join 350.org supporters from across the northeast
in BOSTON for the first
NEW ENGLAND 350 CONVERGENCE

We are calling on individuals and groups that share 350’s vision of a mass movement against climate change to bring the struggle to move beyond fossil fuels home to New England. On November 17 & 18, supporters of 350.org will gather in Boston for a New England Convergence against fossil fuel infrastructure. It will be a weekend devoted to educational sessions on fossil fuel infrastructure in New England and methods we can utilize to expose and end their use. We will work together to plan regional mass actions against fossil fuels on January 19, 2013, the Saturday before Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

Please register for the event here.
