CALL THE GOVERNOR TODAY - 10/15 - No Eversource Clearcut
Dear Friends Concerned about Eversource’s Clearcutting,
Today is CALL THE GOVERNOR DAY - Thursday, 10/15! Add your voice to help stop Eversource’s unnecessary clearcut of hundreds of acres in Western MA.
These calls will build on the strong message of our regional petition which has almost 1,100 signatures so far.
**Our Message: No Eversource Clearcut for Profit**
ABOUT CALLING THE GOVERNOR
The calls go to her Constituency Services staff. The call should take just a minute or two and needn’t be stressful. Here’s everything to know:
- What to expect: A staff person or recording will answer the phone. Just provide your name, phone number, address, and your point of view. Even if it’s a recording, go ahead and tell it your statement (see below). Staff makes a list of how many calls they receive, likely without much detail. The more calls, the more likely we’ll earn attention. So making the call is more important than getting it perfect!
- Phone number: (617) 725-4005
- When to call: 9:00 to 5:00 on Thursday, 10/15
- Short sample script: I'm AGAINST Eversource's “WT-11” proposal to unnecessarily clearcut 278 acres in Western Massachusetts. I ask Governor Healey to intervene to require selective management wherever possible. I also ask that stronger statewide standards be established so that future proposals will be less destructive.

Please spread the word! The more calls, the better our chances of stopping this unnecessary destruction.Please forward this email or share the link: https://bit.ly/4epHltn
