SPRINGFIELD -- Dozens of environmental activists from across Massachusetts will gather in Springfield Tuesday to urge U.S. Rep. Richard Neal to join fellow delegation members in supporting Democrats’ “Green New Deal” agenda.

The Boston chapter of Sunrise Movement, a youth-led effort that seeks to force political action on climate change-related issues, announced Monday that it will hold a late afternoon rally with local high school students, college students and other environmental activists outside the Springfield Democrat’s State Street office.

Organizers said the 4 p.m. demonstration will call on Neal to support the federal “Green New Deal" resolution and use his power as the House Ways and Means Committee’s chairman to help advance it through Congress.

Noting that Neal is the only member of Massachusetts’ congressional delegation to not come out in support of the controversial climate change proposal, Sunrise Movement Boston officials stressed that they need him “to fight for our futures and back the ‘Green New Deal.'”

The Springfield rally will come just weeks after officials with Sunrise Movement said they met with the congressman’s office and asked him to co-sponsor the “Green New Deal” resolution.

Organizers pledged to take action if the Democrat failed to sign on as a co-sponsor to the legislation by Tuesday, Feb. 26.

Fellow Massachusetts Democrat U.S. Sen. Ed Markey joined New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez earlier this month in unveiling their “Green New Deal” agenda, which calls for a series of economic, social and energy overhaul goals to be achieved in the next decade.

They include, among other things: building smart power grids; upgrading all existing buildings and constructing new buildings to achieve maximum energy and water efficiency; removing all pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from transportation and agricultural sectors; and cleaning up hazardous waste and abandoned sites.

Nearly 70 lawmakers have signed onto the House version of the resolution, including eight members of Massachusetts’ delegation: U.S. Reps. Stephen Lynch, D-South Boston; Ayanna Pressley, D-Boston; Jim McGovern, D-Worcester; Katherine Clark, D-Melrose; Seth Moulton, D-Salem; Bill Keating, D-Bourne; Lori Trahan, D-Westford; and Joe Kennedy III, D-Newton.

About a dozen senators, including U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Massachusetts, meanwhile, have signed up to co-sponsor Markey’s companion version of the “Green New Deal.

Neal’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
