ENRA Hearing on Pollinators and Pesticides

On May 10, 2023, proposed legislation for pesticide reform and pollinator protection is expected to receive a public hearing before the Joint Committee on Environmental and Natural Resources at the Massachusetts State House in Boston (and on-line).
This public hearing is a critical opportunity to demonstrate support from the movement for healthy living landscapes and toxins reduction.
We encourage all supporters to submit written testimony and are seeking subject matter experts and grassroots leaders to speak the day of the hearing.
We also need people to show up in support! We hope to have a strong showing in the hearing room in Boston on May 10th. Will you join us?
