Monday, February 10 – Wednesday, February 12, 2025 – MYCC Lobby Day

by

Join the Massachusetts Youth Climate Coalition as we sit down directly with our legislators to fight for state-level climate justice policy during our Youth Climate Lobby Week (week of 2/10/25). This is a great way to represent your community, have fun, and make a difference!

The Lobby Week schedule:

  • Monday 2/10: afternoon and evening virtual trainings on how to lobby
  • Tuesday 2/11 IN-PERSON LOBBY DAY: Rally & legislator meetings at the MA Statehouse
  • Wednesday (2/12) – Friday (2/14): virtual legislator meetings for those unable to make it on 2/11

The short link to this form is: bit.ly/mycc2025lobbyweek

This event is designed to center the voices of people ages 14-24. If you’re 25+ we still welcome your support but we will ask you to indicate that below and prepare to take on more supportive roles, like note-taker, practice legislator, moral support in meetings, help navigating the statehouse, securing in-kind donations, etc.

As always, we are advocating for policies aligned with our coalition Policy Principles. The list of actual priority bills will need to be refined once they have been filed in mid-January. Regardless we know already we’ll be asking for:

  1. Inclusive & Transparent Governance
  2. Environmental Justice
  3. Renewable Energy
  4. Equitable Funding
  5. Intersectional Climate Justice & Civics Education
  6. Nature, Land & Food-based Health

Northeast Regional Seed Club

Join the Northeast Regional Seed Club with Cape Ann Gardens using the link HERE and be a part of the local seed movement! You’ll receive 6 months of seeds (up to five packets every two months) featuring regionally grown flowers, herbs, vegetables, and fruits adapted for the northeastern U.S. $85 cost.

Your membership will provide critical start-up funds to support grower contributions to the 2025 list of offerings and seed contracts for the 2026 catalog. Your support is invaluable for developing this network of small-scale seed producers and launching a seed company rooted in ethical, regional seed stewardship.

Each seed variety has been grown and tested by experienced seed savers committed to ethical, regionally focused seed production. Our club members play a crucial role in this process—not just as recipients of seeds, but as active participants in the ongoing adaptation of plants to the Northeast’s evolving climate. This initiative strengthens a regional seed network, sustains small-scale producers, and advances a future where seed sovereignty is the norm, not the exception.
