BOSTON (AP) - Dozens of environmental organizations along with community and religious groups are teaming up to lobby for energy legislation on Beacon Hill.
The groups have scheduled news conferences for Wednesday in Boston, Weymouth, Fall River, Holyoke and Pittsfield to announce the launch of Mass Power Forward.
The new coalition says it will offer a united front against what it calls the “polluting infrastructure,” and lobby for bills that would transition the state to greater reliance on clean energy technology.
Environmental groups involved in the effort include the Sierra Club, Toxics Action Center, the Environmental League of Massachusetts and Massachusetts Climate Action Network.
The coalition says it plan to take part in a legislative hearing on energy later this month.
