Public Notice: Stop the Sludge Meeting

Stop the Sludge will be having a meeting on Thursday, January 18th at 7 P.M. in the Meeting Room of the Parlin Memorial Library. We are asking anyone that would like to help take a leadership role in the group to attend.

We received terrific news on Friday that Toxics Action Center, an environmental group with extensive community involvement history, has decided to help us in our efforts to take on Boston and stop their proposed handling facility on Lower Broadway. The meeting this Thursday will serve as an introduction to Toxics Action, as well as to have people sign up for specific tasks to stop the sludge. This group has graciously offered to draw up a plan of action based on our "4 prong plan" that will allow us to reach both short and long-term goals that can get Everett, Somerville and Charlestown moving in the right direction.

We have done a terrific job to this point gathering signatures and spreading the word. We must now take our efforts to the next level and assemble an organization that can reach out to more people each day. It is my hope that after this meeting we will have people signed up to help with Media outreach, Signature collection, Business community outreach, Constituency calls to elected officials, and a number of other projects that will develop our group further.

Please forward this on to anyone that I may have missed. We would like to get as many people as possible who will consider themselves regulars at meetings and events to Stop the Sludge!
