Additional Details and RSVP link.

Dear Friends & Colleagues, please circulate this widely to your networks.

We’re ramping up! The next few weeks will be filled with coordinated actions leading up to the October 2nd Statehouse Rally to let the Governor know WHY we’re coming—and we need your help!

Each weekly action below, taken together, will send a resounding message to the Governor that citizens across the state are urging her to do everything within her power to stop this outrageous private luxury jet expansion which so clearly runs contrary to her—and our—efforts to reach Massachusetts net zero climate goals.

While there are many problems with the proposed Hanscom expansion, we will focus on its damaging climate impacts in our emails, calls, and twitters as this is the issue that the Governor can take action on.

Key Upcoming Actions

  • This week we start with a brief email to the Governor. Personal letters still remain the gold standard for getting our elected leaders’ attention, and you don't have to start from scratch! Open this toolbox to easily build a letter.

This is when you can really make a difference! Please take each action every week!

Additional Actions

  • Sign & circulate the petition to the Governor!  We have almost 8,000 signatures!  Let’s reach 10,000 by the Oct 2 rally! Please sign and circulate the petition.

  • Does your organization want to join the Coalition? Please email us at: at info@StopPrivateJetExpansion.org

  • Our shared success depends on your donation! We've come a long way since spring: we've grown from 10 to over 40 organizations and our reach has spread from Boston to the Berkshires. This growth and our future success takes educating, mobilizing, resources, and action—and coordinating our continuously expanding numbers.

    Building the support we need to succeed doesn't happen without financial support. Please contribute whatever you can to fuel the fight to stop the private luxury jet expansion at Hanscom or any airport. Consider donating monthly to provide a strong foundation for our future organizing.

  • Fun stuff! Send in a photo of our lawn sign next to a building with YOUR town/city’s name–we’re creating a collage on our website to show our statewide reach to the Governor and our elected representatives! Include yourselves in the photos too if you'd like! Send a JPG or PNG to info@StopPrivateJetExpansion.org. Fill out this form to get a lawn sign.

If the proposed expansion goes forward, private jet emissions from Hanscom alone. Cancel up to 70% of the climate benefits of all the solar PV ever installed in Massachusetts.

We thank you for your continued support of our shared cause.

In Solidarity,
Stop Private Jet Expansion at Hanscom or Anywhere
