Monthly Chapter meeting with Rep. Andy Vargas
Monthly Chapter meeting with Rep. Andy Vargas
July 14, 2020 11:30 am - 2:00 pm
https://zoom.us/j/735454252
Our regular, Second-Tuesday-Afternoon-of-the -Month Chapter Meeting is held remotely thru Zoom. The first half hour we make time for getting set up, and socializing with each other on zoom and maybe eating our lunches together - gathered, but physically distanced.
Then we start our meeting promptly at noon, and this month we will be joined by State Representative
Andres "Andy" Vargas who represents the 3rd Essex District including the town of Haverhill. Vargas serves on the House Committee on Ways and Means, Joint Committee on Community Development and Small Businesses, Joint Committee on Education, Joint Committee on Public Health, and the Joint Committee on Ways and Means. He is a Democrat and a member of the Legislature's Black and Latino Caucus. He is one of the youngest members of the Legislature, and he began his work in legislative politics at the age of 16. (Andy may tell us the story of how he got into legislative politics at the age of 16 by supporting a Civics Education bill that was ultimately enacted into law (https://www.wbur.org/edify/2018/11/08/civics-education-reform-law).
Andy will be speaking about topics such as:
- How ECA members can best help move the Clean Energy 2050 Roadmap Bill (H.3983) that is now sitting in Ways and Means to get it approved and sent out to for a House vote with a recommendation.
- His assessment of the views taken by the Black and Latino Caucus on the Road Map bill, in particular, and on climate legislation more generally.
- His thoughts about the interaction of race and climate issues
- His interest in transportation legislation and the impact it will have on climate and environment.
- How climate issues are affecting Haverhill’s senior population and how those effects might be generalizable to the State as a whole.
Come join us to hear his views, and find out more on how to support climate legislation, along with the chance to dialogue with the group and ask Rep. Vargas questions directly. We have learned that our legislators are welcoming these virtual constituent meetings, and really want to hear from us. Some have even said they haven't been hearing much on climate lately, so let's let them hear us!

Jess Ostfeld will offer her recommendations to organizations on how to better engage with older climate activists based on her findings in her recently completed thesis "The Motivations of Older Americans for Participating in High Commitment Climate Action". A number of ECA folks participated in her surveys and interviews for her thesis for Wellesley College, and we found her findings so fascinating we asked her to come back and share them with the group.
What motivates you? How can we use this to motivate our other friends and social circles to action?
Let's discuss this with Jess, and learn from each other too.
