The eight-month “Save the Housatonic” campaign culminated in a February 2025 rally at Sam Adams Park near Faneuil Hall—chosen for its proximity to GE’s Boston headquarters to draw media attention and action from state officials. Residents opposed GE’s plan to dredge the river and dump PCB-contaminated sediment in Berkshire County, MA, citing threats to the economy, environment, and public health. Stakeholders called for safer cleanup methods and community involvement, framing the issue as a fight for environmental justice and corporate accountability.
