FREE
What: Rally and March to Stop the Williams Pipeline
When: Thursday, April 18,  5:30 pm
Where: City Hall, then march across the Brooklyn Bridge
 
The deadline is fast approaching for Governor Cuomo to decide whether to block or permit the Williams pipeline.
 
On April 18, hundreds of New Yorkers will rally at City Hall to urge Cuomo to stop this dangerous project, and we hope you and your organization will be a part of this important event.

The Williams pipeline would ship fracked gas under New York Harbor, threatening our communities and ocean ecology and worsening climate change.
 
Fortunately, Cuomo’s Department of Environmental Conservation can stop the pipeline by denying a required water quality permit. The deadline for Cuomo to deny the permit is May 16.
 
Momentum is building against the Williams pipeline. On March 20, scores of elected officials, including Comptroller Scott Stringer and Council Speaker Corey Johnson, denounced the project at a City Hall press event., During the public comment period, thousands of public comments were submitted against the pipeline to the Cuomo administration.
 
But we need your group or organization’s help in the final stretch. Please co-sponsor and promote the April 18 rally and march.
