The campaign\u2019s objective is to make climate a more visible issue leading up to the November election and to demonstrate to congressional leaders that there is broad grassroots support for bold climate action.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">As part of the campaign, Green Needham and ECA Mass will jointly host a sign-holding event in Needham town center on Wednesday, August 19, from 5:30-6:30pm, immediately following the weekly Needham Resists democracy standout.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Please join us for this action! We will provide signs, although you are welcome to bring your own climate-themed message. We plan to take photos at the event and get them to Jake Auchincloss, our representative, and to congressional leadership. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilize.us\/climateactioncampaign\/event\/1003473\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sign up now<\/a> or just come!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you noticed that the conversation around climate change has gone quiet, especially at the federal level?
