Boston Public Library Leventhal Center FRRACS Open House 

Wednesday, September 21 6:00pm | RSVP HERE

Join Fore River Residents Against the Compressor Station (FRRACS) for an Open House at the Leventhal Map and Education Center in the Boston Public Library’s Central Branch in Copley Square.  Hear from residents of the Fore River Basin, on the South Shore of greater Boston, about their ongoing 71/2 year fight against Enbridge’s Weymouth Compressor Station.

This Compressor Station, the only one in the United States to be located in a densely populated coastal area, poses a serious threat to the health, safety, environment, and economy of Greater Boston’s South Shore, and is sited adjacent to three Environmental Justice communities

Folks can explore the Leventhal Center exhibit in which FRRACS is featured, titled: More or Less in Common: Environment and Justice in the Human Landscape. The exhibit also includes the stories of many other fights for environmental justice and the differences in environmental and social outcomes in different communities around the world, based on wealth, class, and race. The exhibit lets folks think critically about the environmental movement and relationship with environmental justice. 

This will be a great opportunity to meet up with FRRACS community allies and the public to see this thought-provoking  exhibit, to learn about other fights for environmental justice around the world, and how environmental justice relates to the traditional environmental movement.  Please RSVP here if you plan on attending. Thank you!

If you are still concerned about COVID-19, feel free to wear a mask. There is also a digital exhibit online, so that you may visit from the comfort of your home.
