helwenGoing to a vigil in Greenfield, Thursday evening. Kinder Morgan is doing a presentation on their proposed pipeline at the John W. Olver Transit Center at 6pm. The presentation starts at 7pm. Any and all friends are welcome to join me and Lyle there!
Some folks will be gathering at 5pm on the Greenfield Common, across from Bank Row (assuming permit for that is confirmed -- otherwise a person will be there to re-direct people to the Transit Center).
***
Spread the word!! We want to get as many people as possible to this event. This will be a golden opportunity to clearly show Kinder Morgan and the State of Massachusetts that we DO NOT NEED and DO NOT WANT a dangerous gas transmission pipeline in our midst! (Did you know we have three (3) import stations in MA but only use one? We really don't need this.)
You are encouraged to make signs to state your opinion!
This will be a peaceful and respectful event. Our intention is to simply show by way of many people standing and bearing witness that we are large and resolute. Please join us!

Kinder Morgan/TGP -- the proposed pipeline would go through Ashfield, along with many other places, including conservation land, from Canada through NY to Dracut, MA in the eastern part of the state. It would be carrying fracked natural gas. They have a poor safety record (no surprise, if you know anything about the oil and gas industry). There is no real benefit to the people, only danger from spills, leaks, and explosions. There is certainly no benefit to the land.
