Eversource, New England's largest energy provider, proposes an electrical substation in a portion of Boston largely inhabited by people of color.
Do they have a voice? Extinction Rebellion Boston has joined with GrassRoots, an organization in East Boston and Chelsea where Eversource has proposed its substation be located, to raise awareness and inspire action. We call on Eversource to relocate the potentially dangerous substation to a safer area.
