PAUSE is a grassroots group of individuals who have come together to promote safe, sustainable energy and fight for environmental justice. We engage the greater public to stop the fossil fuel industry’s assault on the people of Albany and our environment. Our work reaches out to people and groups around the globe who strive for an end to the ruinous fossil fuel economy and to replace it with a just, sustainable, and distributed system of work that meets people’s real needs and does not destroy the Earth’s climate.

PAUSE stands for People of Albany United for Safe Energy. This group, formed in January of 2014, examines the impact on public health, safety, and the environment from the exponentially growing number of oil shipments through Albany. Our second objective is to promote the switch from fossil fuels to renewables sources of energy. PAUSE meets the first and third Thursday of each month from 5:30 - 6:30P at Citizen Action, 94 Central Ave. in Albany. Everyone is welcome to attend.
