Climate Action: Vote to Stop Private Jet Expansion at Hanscom Field
At the request of a group of concerned church members, the TPC board has called a meeting of the congregation to join with UU Mass Action and other UU churches and to vote on a resolution opposing the expansion of private jet infrastructure at Hanscom. Under our bylaws, “registering the church’s sentiments in public venues” requires a vote by its members at a congregational meeting. If passed, we will send the resolution to Gov. Healey and state and city elected officials.
The proposed resolution is here.

- Members of the SPJE planning team will have a table at coffee hour each Sunday in January where you can pick up a copy of the proposed resolution and additional information about the proposed Hanscom expansion.
