Why Join

Learn about National Grid's LNG facility, the largest fracked gas site in New York State. See how fossil fuel infrastructure, utility decisions, and pollution affect neighborhoods in North Brooklyn, and explore how communities are building alternatives.

What’s at Stake

• National Grid plans to expand fracked gas infrastructure into the 2050s, ignoring New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.

• Toxic facilities like the Greenpoint LNG site sit in the heart of North Brooklyn, next to homes, businesses, and playgrounds.

• Every month, our utility bills pay for this pollution. Without action, we could be locked into decades of climate damage and health risks.

• National Grid has just announced a one-year rate freeze. Governor Hochul knows utility bills are a hot-button issue during an election year. What does this mean for your bills and future increases to pay for fossil fuel infrastructure?

What’s Our Vision

• What would a healthy, accessible access to the 120 acre site look like?
