On Thursday June 15, eight climate activists from Extinction Rebellion Boston (XR) mooned legislature with the message "STOP PASSING GAS" written on their backsides, demanding that the Massachusetts government immediately ban all new fossil fuel infrastructure and stop ongoing construction of new projects. The demonstration disrupted a formal Senate session, which had been assembled to address a topic separate from climate change legislation, despite the ongoing crisis precipitated by lawmaker inaction. This action continues a long streak of non-violent civil disobedience protests that XR Boston has organized in their No New Fossil Fuel Infrastructure campaign.
