Six people locked themselves together at 9:50 a.m. Saturday to block two construction sites of Spectra Energy’s West Roxbury Lateral Pipeline (WRL), which would bring fracked gas into Boston. Bound at the waist and ankles using chains and superglue, they aim to stop the project from endangering the community and disrupting the climate.

While Millennium Park isn’t in JP, many neighborhood dog owners walk their pooches there. On Saturday, a group working to bring a true dog park to the southwest side of the city hosts a cleanup of the grounds.

Spectra Energy has broken ground on the construction of a natural gas pipeline that passes through Dedham and West Roxbury. Residents of Dedham and Boston are joining forces on Sunday July 26th to keep Spectra Energy from starting construction in Boston. 100+ people will be linking arms along the Dedham/Boston city line in order to symbolically block the pipeline. This event will be preceded by a worship service and a rally. Come join your fellow residents, concerned for our safety and future.
