Environmental Protest Draws More Than 1,000 to Boston Common. By Lauren Finch, Boston University Daily Free Press, April 14, 2008. "Students, community leaders and Massachusetts residents [descended] on Beacon Hill [Monday] to show... support for a new bill to cut greenhouse gas emissions, ending a four-day conference... More than 1,000 people attended... [Mass Power Shift]... modeled after the larger Power Shift conference in Washington, D.C.... The event included lectures, workshops and educational training... [and] end[ed Sunday] with a large-scale lobbying effort at the Massachusetts State House, where participants [pushed] to pass the Global Warming Solutions Act through the House of Representatives... The event featured a motivational concert and rally on Boston Common, with a performance by band Melodeego and speeches by Massachusetts Senator John Kerry, former CIA director Jim Woolsey and Rev. Fred Small, environmental activist and minister of the First Parish in Cambridge."
