Activism works- the fossil fuel industry is wobbling, but still powerful- please share this updated email from Laura Shindell:
Call Cuomo Monday: Stop National Grid’s North Brooklyn Pipeline
877-235-6537
Call Cuomo Monday is back, and with a fierceness! As the COVID crisis escalated this spring, so did the volume of calls attempting to reach the Governor’s office.
But now that NY has flattened the curve, Cuomo’s constituent services are accessible again-- and just in time because it’s critical we urge him to stop National Grid’s North Brooklyn Pipeline.
In May, New Yorkers scored an enormous victory and defeated the Williams NESE pipeline that had been proposed for NY Harbor. Now, corporate utility National Grid is proposing a “backup plan” to the rejected Williams NESE pipeline, and their plan B is riddled with dirty fossil fuels. Part of their plan includes hastening construction of the Metropolitan Reliability Project, locals dubbed it the North Brooklyn Pipeline.
The North Brooklyn fracked gas Pipeline is currently under construction in Brownsville and Bushwick, and is destined for Williamsburg and Greenpoint. It is being built through black and brown communities that were not consulted about the proposal. It’s dirty, dangerous, and commits New York to higher utility rates and decades of climate destroying fracked gas.
Call Governor Cuomo at 877-235-6537 and tell him to stop the North Brooklyn Pipeline, and make National Grid opt for a “no infrastructure” energy option instead!
