Who: No North Brooklyn Pipeline Alliance

What: An Info Session with refreshments, zines, and stickers followed by a walking tour. Right now, National Grid, a UK-based monopoly corporation doing business as our local gas utility in New York, is laying out its plan for the next 20 years. They claim fracked gas growth is our future. We demand National Grid comply with our climate law, retire its toxic fossil fuel systems, and replace the gas network with thermal energy networks, community solar, and energy efficiency.

Where: Meet in Cooper Park on Maspeth Ave, Greenpoint Brooklyn, 11211, MAP (ending at 5 pm for optional Happy Hour at Mary's Queer Irish Bar.)

When:  Sunday, February 23rd starting at 3:00 pm for an info session. We will depart at 3:30 sharp for the walking tour. We will return to Cooper Park around 4:50 pm

Why: The more we know, the more we build community power; we can build a city that serves the people, not shareholder-owned corporations. We Won't Pay To Be Poisoned

  • Did you know New York State's largest fossil fuel depot is in North Brooklyn, adjacent to homes, businesses, and playgrounds?
  • Did you also know that we pay for it through our monthly utility bills?

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.

The gas systems should be RETIRED, NOT REPLACED! New York State law requires that we get off all fossil fuels by 2050 to mitigate the climate disasters unfolding in real time before us. We shouldn’t be paying BILLIONS dollars for National Grid to invest in their decrepit gas system!

Climate change is here, with extreme heat, brutal cold, massive wildfires, devastating hurricanes, and previously unimaginable floods. We CAN build an energy system that does not harm us!

The Public Service Commission (PSC) and the governor must ensure that we meet the requirements of the state climate law, protect our residents, farms, and businesses, and lead the nation in smart climate policy.


We will keep to the side walk!
