The Leadership Campaign is a project of Students for a Just and Stable Future. SJSF is a group of students and young professionals dedicated to protecting humanity from the unprecedented threat of global destabilization as a result of rapid climate disruption. We work to mobilize our campuses, communities, and state to raise climate change to the top of the political agenda and stimulate state, national, and global changes necessary to protect the ecosystems that sustain life. We seek to make Massachusetts a leader in the transition to a society no longer dependent on climate-destroying practices.

An Act to Create a Repower Massachusetts Emergency Taskforce has been introduced to hasten and facilitate the response of Massachusetts to the threat of global climatic disruption. The Taskforce would determine the means of reaching the goal of 100% clean electricity in Massachusetts in the next 10 years.

As a result of our efforts last fall, 17 legislators co-sponsored our bill, An Act to Create a Repower Massachusetts Emergency Task Force. We encourage you to join us this spring in demonstrating to our elected officials the depth of commitment we have to getting our bill passed this session.

We will work on our campuses and in our communities to build power. And three times this spring, we will gather together to demonstrate the depth of our commitment by refusing to sleep in our homes, dorms, and apartments powered by dirty electricity.

February 20th-21st, Amherst Common Sleep-out March 28th-29th, Cambridge Common Sleep-out and March April 21st-22nd, Boston Common Earth Day Sleep-out and Lobby Day Last fall, hundreds of people around the state participated in protests like these. And 200 risked the legal consequences of sleeping out on the Boston Common after it closed at 11:00PM. We will be repeating this act of solidarity the night before Earth Day. We invite all people of conscience from across Massachusetts (and beyond) to join us in this action.
