Landslide victories for the Secure Green Future ballot initiative!!
Thanks to an incredible grassroots effort, the Secure Green Future ballot question has won in EVERY SINGLE DISTRICT it appeared,
and by a total landslide margin! At least 153,252 voters said YES to a Secure Green Future on November 4th, netting the ballot
question an astounding 81.44% of the vote!!!
Thanks to all of you who helped get these questions on the ballot and helped to spread the word to voters. Your efforts have
paid off big time, and we now have clear evidence that the people of Massachusetts are READY for decisive action to fight
climate change and energy uncertainty by transitioning to a secure, green economy NOW.
