Tewksbury Residents Plan 'Battery Farm' Protest

This statement is from Allen Capone and concerned Tewksbury residents.

TEWKSBURY, MA — This Saturday, May 17, scores of Tewksbury residents will be staging a demonstration in the center of town in opposition to a plan to establish a potentially very dangerous lithium-ion battery “farm” near neighborhoods and small businesses.

This, the second in a series of demonstrations, will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. adjacent to the town hall at the intersection of Main and Pleasant streets.

The demonstrators will be seeking signatures on petitions to oppose this so-called “farm” and will be providing more information about this facility that would consist of nearly 16 million pounds of lithium-ion batteries.

Demonstration spokesperson Allen Capone may be contacted via email at allencapone@comcast.net or (978) 640-5837.
