BCAN’s Executive Director @hessann.bsky.social was recently interviewed by @wwlp-22news.bsky.social about the DPU’s Mass Save budget cuts. Watch the interview to learn more.

🧵 While we are glad to see the DPU’s approval of the Mass Save Three-Year Plan, we are disappointed to see cuts that will rob our Commonwealth of $1.5B in projected savings and benefits. www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

BCAN is excited to announce that we have won $150,000 for our campaign to install bus benches around the City through the Participatory Budgeting Program. 🎉 Out of 14 ideas, our proposal placed 6th and received 1,505 votes.
