Tell Gov Hochul & DEC to deny air permits for Iroquois Pipeline compressors!
The “Iroquois Pipeline Company” wants to drastically increase the amount of gas they push through their 37-year-old fossil gas pipeline running from the Canadian border to Long Island and NYC. They are seeking a permit to double the size of four toxic and noisy gas compressor stations that have long polluted disadvantaged, working-class communities in Dover and Athens, NY. This permit MUST be denied!

Stop Fossil Fuel Expansion in NYS: Say No to “Project Maple”!
Fossil fuel company Enbridge wants to expand its fracked gas infrastructure along the AIM pipeline that runs through New York.
This plan would include building out compressor stations and other dirty energy infrastructure — wreaking havoc on our air and climate, and directly contradicting the clean energy goals mandated by New York’s Climate Leadership and Community Protection Act.
Urge Governor Hochul and State legislators to oppose the Maple Fracked Gas Expansion!
Stop Climate-busting U.S. Liquid Natural Gas Exports

Despite Enbridge’s terrible track record, the Line 5 oil pipeline continues to operate illegally through the Bad River Band’s land in Wisconsin and the Straits in Michigan.

Use this toolkit to write a public comment and help drive pressure on Biden’s Army Corps of Engineers to shut down the Dakota Access Pipeline, which has been operating illegally and against the self determination of Indigenous peoples who led the resistance to #StopDAPL. Deadline: December 13th 2023.
