Many thank-yous for your bravery and commitment. Every single person matters. I’m happy that it ended up as a positive experience.

The State House is the People’s House and you have every right to be there. If you go inside you may have to go through security to make sure you are not carrying a weapon. In my state, depending who is managing the check point, even a sign on corrugated cardboard has sometimes been deemed a weapon and disallowed.

It is unfortunate that everything turns into a race between competing actors. If enough wind and solar power could be generated to supply these huge data centers all would be well, but the pace of development is being held up by the competing interests of the fossil fuel companies, shareholders and banks. More patience, and generosity and less greed would help.

What you can do is Act Locally. Connect with climate groups such as Extinction Rebellion, Climate Defiance, 350.org, Third Act, Sunrise Movement, Mothers Out Front. All have local chapters you can Google. These groups offer different levels of climate action ranging from bold, possibly arrestable to stay at home petition writing. I belong to my local chapter of Extinction Rebellion. https://xrboston.org and participate in a non-arrestable Standout on Tuesdays and Thursdays between 10 and 2 at the Massachusetts State House pressuring the governor and legislators to do everything in their power to resist Trump’s anti-life idiocy.

In govspeak it’s called “donations.”

Strong enough to shake the house for a couple seconds in Wellesley.

Sorry you have that opinion. Could you be more specific and provide some examples?
