A few weeks ago, thanks over 200 supporters in Massachusetts, who donated an average of $42, we were able to raise enough money to run ads in the Boston subway system calling out Senator Scott Brown for his vote to gut the Clean Air Act, a key tool to reduce our carbon emissions.

But our team just received some outrageous news: the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority (MBTA) is refusing to run ads revealing the amount of money Big Polluters are spending to support Sen. Scott Brown.

Can you believe it? The MBTA only rejects about two ads a year--usually ads containing drugs or borderline nudity--but they’ve decided that a citizen-funded attempt to hold Scott Brown accountable for his vote to gut the Clean Air Act is unacceptable for public consumption. We’ve sent a letter to the MBTA explaining our position, but rather than waste our time arguing with them, we want to keep the spotlight on Scott Brown. We're going to take the ads out into the streets using low-carbon bike-billboards!

Since Big Polluters and their allies like the US Chamber of Commerce dumped over $1 million to propel Sen. Brown into office, he’s consistently voted against environmental regulations like the Clean Air Act that protect the climate and public health.

The MBTA may think that educating people about Sen. Brown’s voting record is too controversial, but we know Massachusetts residents want the facts. Over 200 people across the state helped fund these ads so that your neighbors could ask Sen. Brown a simple question: which side are you on? Are you working for Massachusetts or Big Polluters?
