Eighty nine percent of all carbon emissions in Massachusetts are from three sources: cars, trucks and buses that burn gasoline (42%); residential and commercial heating systems that burn natural gas or oil (27%); and power plants that generate electricity by burning coal and natural gas (20%).
The only way to get rid of carbon emissions is to stop emitting carbon. This means switching over to clean energy on a massive scale. Our plan is to speed up the conversion to clean energy by passing a law, using the citizen ballot initiative process, that gives every Massachusetts taxpayer a substantial, multi-year, tax cut or immediate cash rebate if they decommission their gasoline burning vehicle and buy an electric vehicle; if they install a high efficiency electric heat pump in their home; or if they install a home solar power system.
Under our proposed Green New Deal law, most taxpayers will see their state income tax payment go to zero for the first few years after they convert to clean energy. Anyone whose income is too low to take advantage of the tax cut will receive an equivalent cash rebate.
We need your signature. To put our Green New Deal initiative on the November 2022 ballot in Massachusetts, we need 100,000 registered Massachusetts voters to sign the Secretary of State’s official printed petition. Please fill out your contact information so we can send you the official petition form.
Any information you give to Sign2PassAGreenNewDeal.org will only be used by us to let you know you how you can help get our initiative on the ballot, and to keep you informed on the progress of our campaign. After we've passed this initiative, we will invite you to work on other issues that our followers support. We will never sell your information or share it with any third party.

The world is facing an imminent reckoning on climate change. Our political leaders in Massachusetts recently passed one of the most ambitious climate change laws in the country. “An Act creating a next-generation roadmap for Massachusetts climate policy (Chapter 8 of the Acts of 2021)” sets a far reaching goal of eliminating carbon emissions by 2050. But it does not provide any practical solutions for actually getting rid of our biggest sources of carbon pollution.
Eighty nine percent of all carbon emissions in Massachusetts are from three sources: cars, trucks and buses that burn gasoline (42%); residential and commercial heating systems that burn natural gas or oil (27%); and power plants that generate electricity by burning coal and natural gas (20%). The only way to eliminate carbon emissions is to stop emitting carbon. That means switching over, on a massive scale, to vehicles, heating systems and electricity generation that are powered by clean energy.
Unfortunately, the recently passed climate change law offers no financial support or other practical incentives to help people make that switch. Our ambitious goal of eliminating carbon emissions by 2050 is meaningless if most people are forced to continue generating carbon pollution because they can’t afford to switch to clean energy.
We can no longer wait for our political leaders to deliver actual, practical, change. If they won’t pass the laws that we need to significantly reduce carbon emissions in Massachusetts, we will use the citizen ballot initiative process to pass them ourselves. We are launching a ballot initiative campaign to pass a law that will help every Massachusetts resident reduce their own personal carbon emissions by converting to clean energy.
The law that we are proposing will give every Massachusetts taxpayer a multi-year tax cut in the form of refundable state income tax credits that can be used to offset (a) 50% of the cost of decommissioning a gasoline burning vehicle and buying an electric vehicle; (b) 100% of the cost of converting a gasoline burning vehicle to an electric vehicle; and (c) 75% of the cost of installing a high efficiency heat pump or solar power system. The tax credit will be capped at $25,000. Anyone whose income is too low to use a credit will be eligible for a point of sale rebate for the same value.
The Massachusetts constitution allows us to put our proposed law on the November 2022 ballot so voters can pass it themselves. To get our Green New Deal initiative on the ballot, we need to demonstrate that it has popular support by getting 100,000 registered Massachusetts voters to sign the Secretary of State’s official printed petition. This is not an online petition that you “sign” by typing your name on a web site. For your signature to count, the state constitution requires that you sign the official petition with pen on paper.
Please join us! Fill out the above contact form so we can send you the official printed petition. Then explore our web site to learn more about the policy details of our Green New Deal initiative and read the actual text of our proposed law and the Attorney General’s official summary, and to read about our online platform to make it easy and inexpensive for activists to put progressive issues on the ballot and about why we are building it.
