No Northern Access Pipeline! Protect Clean Air and Clean Water!

NYS Department of Environmental Conservation
625 Broadway

March 27, 2017,
12:00 pm to 2:30 pm

A major rally at the Capitol to show Cuomo and the Department of Environmental Conservation that this pipeline, fracked gas, and new fossil fuel sources are bad for New York! We will meet at the DEC building, rally, march to the State Capitol, and rally inside and outside. Bring your signs, songs, and good spirit!

The DEC must decide whether to approve or deny the air and water permits for this project by April 7th. Cuomo ultimately has the power to reject this pipeline. By showing up and making our voices heard, we will influence their decisions.

The proposed Northern Access Pipeline Project is VERY similar to the Constitution Pipeline which was slated for Central NY State but was denied a 401 Water Certification due in large part to all the stream crossings.

We need to let Governor Cuomo and the DEC know that Western NY deserves the same protection. We further need to let Gov. Cuomo know that we expect him to live up to his policies promoting renewable energy, cutting greenhouse gas emissions, cleaning up and protecting our water and his pronouncement in January’s State of the State Address:

"Now that New York has built a foundation for the renewable energy system of the future, the State must double down by investing in the fight against dirty fossil fuels and fracked gas from neighboring states to achieve the goals outlined in the Governor’s Clean Energy Standard."

Any participants are encouraged to contact their legislators ahead of time to se up a meeting in the afternoon while we are in Albany and request their support in denying this pipeline. You can invite them to join us to speak out and for a photo opportunity showing their support.
