Boston, MA —  350 Mass Action today announced their endorsement of Michelle Wu for Mayor of Boston, citing her bold vision for the City of Boston and track record of environmental justice leadership.  350 Mass Action said that Wu is the candidate who will advance bold programs that will build healthy, connected communities and a truly climate resilient Boston. Wu has proposed the first-ever City Green New Deal, a bold vision to match the scale and urgency of the crisis. 

“Michelle Wu has been such a strong advocate for climate action and climate justice in Boston that the Boston chapter of 350 Mass Action  enthusiastically endorses her to be the next mayor of Boston. Her election as Boston's mayor would be an enormous step forward in deepening Boston's commitment to becoming a national leader in working against climate change,” said Bob Tumposky, steering team member of the Boston chapter of 350 Mass Action.

“This summer’s record high temperatures, floods and erratic weather are daily reminders that we need urgent action to end the climate crisis. We can’t afford to wait. I’m thankful to have the support of 350 Mass Action and ready to continue the fight alongside them to organize and build for climate justice. From a city Green New Deal, to sustainable jobs and housing justice, we need to take bold action to tackle the climate crisis,” said Michelle Wu.

In addition to supporting progressive climate candidates, 350 Mass Action organizes public education and direct action campaigns to push for state-wide legislation and to create the political will for the government to take bold and necessary action to fight climate change.
