Join the No North Brooklyn Pipeline and Sane Energy Project for an info session and walking tour of the LNG (Liquefied "Natural" Gas) facility to learn how we are working to transform this site into 120 acres that serve the community, not a shareholder-focused corporation.

Join the No North Brooklyn Pipeline and Sane Energy Project for an info session and walking tour of the LNG (Liquefied "Natural" Gas) facility to learn how we are working to transform this site into 120 acres that serve the community, not a shareholder-focused corporation.

At our upcoming workshop, you'll learn all the essential skills needed to effectively canvass the neighborhood and educate our neighbors about the recent National Grid bill increases and their connection to fossil fuel expansion at the Greenpoint fracked gas depot. We'll discuss solutions on the horizon and our vision for the future of the 120-acre site. Let's get out there and #StopNatGrid together!

National Grid, a UK-based monopoly corporation, wants a massive bill increase from you for its leaky, toxic gas system, which is putting us in debt, harming our health, and breaking New York climate law.

Join Sane Energy Project, a founding member of the No North Brooklyn Pipeline Alliance, for an info session and walking tour of the LNG (Liquefied "Natural" Gas) facility to learn how we are working to transform this site into 120 acres that serves the community, not a shareholder focused corporation.

Join Us for a Neighborhood Canvassing Workshop!

Greenpoint residents, we're looking for people like YOU to join the No North Brooklyn Pipeline Alliance, a team of passionate volunteers working locally for climate justice to help spread the word, starting Monday, 8/26, in Greenpoint.

Join us this Saturday as we stand with Extinction Rebellion Ireland to reject LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) pipelines. We oppose the construction of LNG import terminals on Irish shores. From Dublin to NYC, we say no to fracking, no to harmful pipelines, and yes to sustainable, clean energy and a healthier planet.

On July 14 National Grid will hold a “public meeting” on their latest report, which is full of fracked gas and climate denial.

Join us for a prep session the day before the meeting so you can be prepared to counter National Grid’s greenwashing and learn about all the ways the community is fighting back including the Gas Bill Strike. ⚡️

Join us for a weekly gathering to flier around different neighborhoods and then chill out with a cool beverage and a group of friendly strikers phone banking, art-making and sharing the news far and wide that: We won't pay for National Grid's racist fracked gas pipeline!

RSVP for the location

Join us online this Thursday, 7/8, at 6:30pm to learn about the pipeline fight, why we’re striking, how to join the strike - and then stick around to help us get more people to join our strike movement. ⚡️

New Yorkers are going on strike - by withholding $66 on our National Grid gas bills, we refuse to pay to be poisoned by the North Brooklyn Pipeline.

Activists have been fighting against the completion of this pipeline with public protest, legal tactics, community education, and political advocacy for over a year and a half. Now, we go on strike - because we will not pay to be poisoned.

On March 10, 2021 at 6pm, the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation is hosting a public hearing on whether or not to issue National Grid a permit for liquefied and compressed fracked gas infrastructure at 287 Maspeth Ave, adjacent to a residential neighborhood, the apex of the fiercely opposed North Brooklyn Pipeline, and on the shores of the Newtown Creek, a superfund site that the local community has been working for years to bioremediate. 

We know this project is totally unjust, illegal, and is charging all of us undemocratically to PAY for it! It's important we all register to show up! But first, let's get organized. We are hosting a prep session to get us registered and prepared to defend our community using carefully researched legal arguments that will give the DEC reasons to DENY National Grid's permit. RSVP

So, what Is a Permit Hearing? A permit hearing offers the public an opportunity to participate in the DEC project review. This document gives an overview of the DEC permit hearing process.   

Whether it's your 1st time or 40th time attending a public hearing, preparing for it is important. Join in this prep session to review the facts, re-familiarize yourself with the issue at hand, and establish key arguments to make your public comment as strong and persuasive as can be.

What we'll cover:

Short review:

• What is the NBK pipeline and LNG facility

• What is National Grid applying to the DEC to do

• Why we oppose

• What is a public hearing and how to prepare for this one?

How we achieved a hearing and why it’s important

• What to expect at the hearing?

• What we want to say at the public hearing

• What is our goal for the hearing?

• How to get yourself registered and ready

Right now, National Grid, the corporate utility covering part of NYC and Long Island wants to raise our rates, the highest in the nation, to expand more fossil fuels, including the North Brooklyn (MRI) Pipeline and LNG expansion on Newtown Creek in Greenpoint, Brooklyn in an opaque process in a boardroom. We know that more fossil fuels anywhere puts the climate at risk for everyone. Their request to invest our rate-payer dollars into more fossil fuels goes against what our community wants, and goes against our climate law. We must flood the system with public comments like they have never seen before. Come learn about it, and learn how to TAKE ACTION!

Join the pipeline fight! Build the future.
