Can you come out as we deliver the letter and wear your vyshyvanka - shirt or blouse?
Please bring banners…Slogans …

This gas is being bought at the cost of Ukrainian blood!
Please spread the word…thank you.

Background and additional info:
The gas comes from the Yamal Peninsula in Siberia and is owned by Gennady Tymchenko, a Russian oligarch and friend of Putin worth $26 billion who has helped support Russian military invasions in Georgia, Transnistria, Crimea, and Donbas. He is on the sanctions list and has been since 2014. He has been and still is supplying money and arms to Russians in Donetsk and Luhansk.
The money that he gets from the gas sales is used to fund the army in Donbas that is killing Ukrainian soldiers defending their homeland from invasion.

When confronted with this, Distrigas/Enjie said Tymchenko is sanctioned, not his gas.

The offloading of the first shipment of gas on Sunday, January 28 was the first time that any material sanctioned came to North America.

RussiaToday, the Russia state propaganda tv network based in Washington DC spent five minutes on the offloading and boasted “Sanctions? What sanctions?”

Please note that parking is very limited.

Access Via the T info:
I think the fastest way to get to Distrigas in Charlestown is by taking the T to the North Station stop, and then walking 10 mins over to the building.
