Protests occurred in New York against several natural gas pipeline projects, including one near Staten Island. Over 400 people rallied at City Hall, featuring speeches from prominent figures. Various organizations, such as Climate Families NYC and Food & Water Watch, participated, advocating against projects they view as unnecessary and harmful. The Northeast Supply Enhancement project, supported by the Trump administration, aims to deliver fracked gas but faces strong opposition due to environmental and cost concerns for local customers. Activists are pressuring state leaders to reject these initiatives.
You're seeing here evidence of a statewide movement that is committed to moving New York off fossil fuels. We are committed to pressuring Governor Hochul to stand up to Trump and block these dangerous, costly, and unnecessary projects.
That pipeline would carry fracked gas from Pennsylvania through New Jersey and 23 miles of pipeline along the coast of New York City, passing through Raritan Bay and hugging the shores of Staten Island, Coney Island and the Rockaways.
