Framingham LWV Will Participate In Earth Day Celebration In April

FRAMINGHAM, MA – The Framingham chapter of the League of Women Voters will be participating in the 10th Annual Framingham Earth Day Festival on Saturday, April 23 at the Framingham Centre Common from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. to registering voters.

Members will be providing information on how league members can get involved in local, state, and national efforts to protect the Earth.

The League of Women Voters has proudly and zealously worked to protect air, land, and water resources since the 1960s and declared climate change to be an urgent issue for action across the League at the 2020 LWVUS Convention.

“Our approach to environmental protection and pollution control is one of problem-solving," according to a statement from the LWVUS. "The League’s environmental goals aim to prevent ecological degradation and to reduce and control pollutants before they go down the sewer, up the chimney or into the landfill. We support vigorous enforcement mechanisms, including sanctions for states and localities that do not comply with federal standards as well as substantial fines for noncompliance.”

Anyone who would like to volunteer to help with the LWV table can register here.
