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!
Words: The Proposed Private Jet Expansion at Hanscom has been named one of Beacon Hill's Turkeys of the Year! Image: befuddled, cross-eyed turkey
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!

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.

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

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.

Last Chance! The Comment Deadline is Friday 7/25 Submit a comment on the developers’ Notice of Project Change (NPC), which includes a request to fast-track Hanscom Navy Hangar development! Visit spje.org/npc or the link in our bio for our sample comment toolkit.
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!
