SCRIPT TEMPLATE #1:
Hello,
This is __[YOUR NAME]__ and I live in __[YOUR TOWN]__. I am a member of Mothers Out Front and am deeply worried about our climate emergency.
I’m calling to ask Governor Baker to sign the climate bill into law. I ask that he pass the bill as-is - no veto, no changes, no delay. In particular, I want to express my support for the 10 community building electrification pilot, and the updates to the DPU process for planning a just transition away from natural gas. Thank you for your time.
