Contact info for local and state officials
Help! We are trying to save a stretch of wetlands behind
our school. Yes, we know there are bigger fish to fry, but if
you have a moment to weigh in with some of the powers-that-be,
it might help. It may seem small with WalMart getting away
with filling in lakes and all, but it's still important. See
links for copies of letters and other documentation sent to
local and state officials. It's a tough fight, since the
developer is a state college, and seems above the law in some
respects. But it can't hurt to keep pointing out that
Massachusetts' land use is expanding at seven times the rate
of population growth, and that this is the last remaining
sliver of the old Pickman River bed.
Below are contacts of local and state officials, if you
want to write, fax, call or email (they seem to be effective
in that order). These contacts are all available online, so no
invasion of privacy is intended; however, be polite and
reasonable as always. There are also plenty of other
environmental and neighborhood groups on this list. And of
course, if there's an environmental lawyer or something out
there who wants to take this on, by all means. Different
readers may have varied ideas on who best to contact, whom
they might know, etc. Obviously the more people we get in
touch with, the better.
Politicians always need support to take strong stands,
especially when powerful interests are involved. And while
they usually prefer contacts from their own constituents, this
is also part of the problem. Developers count on opposition
being carved up and localized; it might not hurt for people to
get a fax or two from Sweden or Argentina urging Americans not
to ruin the planet we all share. …. El pueblo unido jamas
sera vencido!
WRITE, CALL, FAX OR EMAIL some or all of these officials
(or others if you think of any). Try to get 2 or 3 neighbors
to do the same. Big developers won't listen unless we can get
our elected officials to stand up for us and get others
involved. Obviously, the more people we reach, the better.
