Our new data tool can tell you the jump in carbon pollution from these 250 luxury jets... wanna see the number @pwsyme.bsky.social? africa.businessinsider.com/sports/mappe...

What are the "green" fuel tanks that developers want to build at Hanscom Field? Alex Chatfield with Stop Private Jet Expansion at Hanscom or Anywhere (SPJE) explains why they might not be as green as Massport claims. For more info, visit spje.org/SAF
You pay fuel duty. Why don’t billionaires? This week, we launched WeWingAnyCar.com to help you qualify for the same tax breaks that private jets get. Because tax loopholes shouldn’t just be for billionaires. They’re for everyone.

Happy New Year from the dogs of SPJE! We hope to see you all in 2026 :)
It's the end of the year, so here's a look back at some of SPJE's highlights of 2025. We couldn't have done any of this without the incredible support of our partner organizations, volunteers, steering committee members, and supporters. We look forward to continuing to work together in the New Year!
One thing Massport can’t steal is our revolutionary spirit! Rather than waiting for Hanscom Field's would-be developers' hearts to grow 3 sizes, submit a public comment on their upcoming impact report (SDEIR) to save all future Christmasses. Sign our petition @ SPJE.org/sign for SDEIR email alerts!
This holiday season, don’t let MassPort steal Christmas! Sign our petition at spje.org/sign or at the link in our bio to receive updates on how to stop the egregious proposed expansion that could cancel out 70% of the climate gains from all solar PV installed in Massachusetts!
Are "Del Monte Fruit Naturals" natural? They have ingredients from industrial chems which aren't natural. Likewise, so-called "Sustainable" Aviation Fuels (SAFs) aren't "sustainable"@ips-dc.org SAFs will overwhelm land use, the energy grid, state budgets,&aren't scalable. Tell your reps: no SAFs!
The Proposed Private Jet Expansion at Hanscom was named Beacon Hill's Turkey of the Year! From @massterlist.com: the proposed expansion is one of the worst "public-policy flops" of the year." Thanks to @senatormikebarrett.bsky.social for his amazing quote! Read that & more at the link in our bio.
Thanks for a great rally on Oct 14th exposing SAFs as greenwashing that can't justify private jet expansion @ Hanscom or Anywhere! Thanks to speakers @senatormikebarrett.bsky.social, Rep. Gentile, @chuck77.bsky.social of @ips-dc.org, & Claire Karl Muller of UUMassAction & MPF. More info@ link in bio
On Oct 14th at 10:30am at the State House, we’ll be exposing Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) as disastrous greenwashing that can’t justify private jet expansion – SAFs are Frankenfuels that will come to haunt us! For more info & to register, go to spje.org/anti-SAF or visit the link in our bio!
WATCH: Airport developers are claiming "sustainable aviation fuels" as a solution to private jet pollution. On @wgbh.org, IPS scholar @chuck77.bsky.social exposes the problem: There is no possible way to scale these fuels nationally. Learn more at spje.org.
Did you spot the familiar airfield in The Handmaid’s Tale: Season 6, Episode 9? That's right, villains store their private jets at Massport's Hanscom Field. If we stop the proposed hangar expansion, we stop the Commanders of Gilead from flying off with our futures. #NoPrivateJetExpansion
Join us for Sierra Club MA's 2025 Lobby Day! Your voice is critical as we lobby for action on climate, clean air, and clean water this year. Training will be provided, and no prior experience is necessary. #mapoli #ClimateActionNow ☀️ RSVP Today: bit.ly/lobbydayma25
Save the Date! SPJE's Anti-SAF Rally will be Oct 14th @ 10:30am @ the MA State House. Expose Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAFs) for what they are: Disastrous Flights of Fantasy that can't justify private jet expansion nor aviation growth. For more info & to register, visit spje.org/anti-SAF
The developers have requested a Phase 1 Waiver from MEPA! This waiver would let them start work at Hanscom's Navy Hangar before finishing MEPA's review of the larger 18-hangar expansion, a key foot in the door for them. Ask Sec. Tepper to deny this request! Spje.org/npc or link in bio for toolkit.
When would-be developers of Hanscom Field’s proposed expansion argued “ferry flight reduction” would balance out an additional 6,000 private jet flights annually, Chuck Collins from @ips-dc.org and @inequality.org came to @gbhnews.bsky.social with the facts. Learn more at spje.org.
Lincoln's July 4th parade with SPJE was an incredible success thanks to our amazing volunteers! If you haven't already, sign the petition to the Gov opposing the proposed luxury jet expansion at Hanscom at spje.org/sign or the link in our bio!
