As Enbridge continues their rogue construction of the compressor station we will be holding space at the site on 02/19/2020 to collectively witness the injustice firsthand. All opponents of this short-sighted project are invited to gather for a mass demonstration calling on officials to shut the project down.

Enbridge has a long track record of violating state law and Indigenous sovereignty. This project would export fracked-gas to Europe, by way of so-called Nova Scotia where a gas storage cavern would illegally violate Mi’kmaq treaty rights.

We will be gathering from 8am until 2pm when the weekly Wednesday standout on the bridge will take place. There will be coffee tables and food available.

Date: Wednesday, February 19 from 8am-2pm 

Location: 50 Bridge Street, Weymouth

Parking: There are two small lots on-site but Enbridge's activities have limited access to parking so we encourage folks to park off-site. There are two lots: 352 Bridge Street in Weymouth (10-minute walk to the site) and Quincy Point Congregational Church - 444 Washington Street. We will have a shuttle bringing folks to and from the church. If you park at the church, you have to park in specific spots and you will need to put a placard in your windshield. We will have someone at the church directing folks and handing out placards. Maps and other parking details are available here. 

Public Transit: To get to the site via public transportation, take the red line to Quincy Center. From there, take the 220 or 222 bus to Bluff Road in Weymouth, which will drop you off right in front of the site (you'll have to walk on the access road that goes under the bridge, instead of crossing 3A). MBTA map available here.

Food and Restrooms:  We will have snacks, coffee, and water available for folks. There will be a porta-potty at 352 Bridge Street, Weymouth. Folks can also use the restroom in basement of the Quincy Point Congregational Church (take elevator to the basement — see map below). Shuttles will be available on the Calpine side to bring people to and from the restrooms.

Other Important Details: Enbridge has been digging up toxic fill at the site, which has caused some of these toxins to become airborne. We will have face masks for folks but wanted you to be aware of this.
