T Sierra Club Massachusetts endorses Gravellese for State Rep he Massachusetts chapter of the Sierra Club – one of the nation’s foremost environmental advocacy organizations – has endorsed Joe Gravellese for State Representative in the upcoming Democratic primary on September 1 in the 16th Suffolk District. “The communities of Chelsea, Revere, and Saugus are disproportionately impacted by environmental injustices and COVID-19,” said Sierra Club Massachusetts Political Director Jonathan Cohn. “The Sierra Club is proud to endorse Joe Gravellese, who will represent this diverse district and act on his commitment to stronger environmental enforcement, environmental justice, and 100% clean energy.” “I’m grateful to have the Sierra Club in my corner,” said Gravellese. “Seven years ago I worked alongside environmental advocates like the Sierra Club to shut down a polluting coal plant in Salem, and pass legislation to hold utility companies accountable for gas leaks. They’ve seen fi rsthand that my commitment to environmental justice isn’t just an election year slogan – it’s a lifelong interest in researching, learning about, and acting on policy.” “When it comes to addressJOE GRAVELLESE Candidate for State Representative ing the environmental hazards in our communities, like gas leaks, the trash-burning incinerator in Saugus, and increasing storms and fl ooding, the advocates who know these issues best, like Sierra Club and Sunrise Boston, are backing my candidacy, because they know I have the passion, knowledge, and track record needed to make a diff erence.” Free COVID-19 Testing Site to Operate at Revere High School July 27-August 13 Testing will be available from July 27- August 13 as part of the Baker-Polito Administration “Stop the Spread” initiative REVERE — Mayor Brian Arrigo and the Revere Board of Health announce a free COVID-19 testing site will operate at Revere High School from July 27- August 13 as part of the Baker-Polito Administration “Stop the Spread” initiative.
