Pipeline Protest March in Walpole on July 14th

From July 14th to 18th, hundreds of Massachusetts residents will be marching along the routes of Spectra’s proposed fracked gas pipeline projects all the way to the steps of the Massachusetts State House, to demand that Governor Baker and the state legislature oppose new gas pipelines and the pipeline tax. This will be a clear message to our elected officials that the people of Massachusetts are ready to do whatever they can to stop any new and unnecessary fossil fuel infrastructure.

The public is encouraged to show their support all along the route as the marchers pass, and at the stops and the rallies, and anyone is welcome to join the march for whatever distance they can. For more information about this important march, and to confirm the final street routes and stop times, please visit www.PeopleOverPipelines.org (/route and /schedule), as there may be last minute changes.

The march protesting the Spectra Access Northeast Q1 Loop (Bellingham through Canton) will begin in Medway on Thursday, July 14th, and go through Millis, Norfolk, Walpole, and Sharon for overnight. After a Rally at MCI Norfolk, at about 2:45 the marchers will continue onto West St. and will stop in WALPOLE CENTER for Rest and Refresh at the United Church of Walpole at about 4:45. They will then proceed north on Rt. 1A, right on East St., and then onto Rt. 27 towards Sharon.
