Climate protesters from Extinction Rebellion Boston have chained themselves to the State House gate, demanding a ban on new fossil fuel infrastructure. The group plans to stay at the gate until their demands are met or they are removed by police. This specific demand is seen as a modest step towards the changes needed to combat climate change. The protesters aim to raise awareness among the public and put pressure on state representatives to take the climate crisis seriously. Some of Extinction Rebellion Boston’s previous demonstrations have led to arrests, but no arrests were made at this protest. Demonstrators emphasized the urgency of the climate crisis and the need for immediate action to prevent further disasters for future generations. The goal of the protest is to intensify the call for climate reforms and send a direct message to state officials about the importance of addressing climate change promptly. Extinction Rebellion Boston’s demonstration is part of a global movement active in 56 countries with 645 local groups. The protesters are prepared to stay at the gate indefinitely until their demands are met, signaling their commitment to taking action against the looming climate crisis.
