June Guest Announced Soon!

While Governor Kathy Hochul has destroyed our climate law, the fracked gas peddling corporation National Grid is seeking more years of consecutive rate hikes as New Yorkers reel from the affordability crisis that is ravaging our city – all while executives and shareholders rake in record profits.

New Yorkers are forced to pay for National Grid’s greed. National Grid has jacked up our monthly bills by 36% since 2024. That’s not just predatory, it’s unsustainable – New Yorkers cannot afford this rate hike.

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.

  • Preemptive support infrastructure for the Williams NESE pipeline

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

  • This spring, National Grid will ask the Public Service Commission to raise rates again—your voice can make a difference.

What’s Our Vision

  • Retiring the LNG facility in North Brooklyn. What would a healthy, accessible access to the 120 acre site look like?

  • Replacing the gas pipeline network by reducing the need for high-pressure fracked gas by pushing for pipeline replacement transparency, and pushing for 'Non-Pipeline-Alternatives'

  • How can communities shape energy systems to prioritize people and the planet?
