Actions for the week of March 17, 2025
Greetings, Activists!
It’s time again for some planet friendly acts! Here are some actions you can take to fight back against Big Oil and protect our climate.
Action 1
🛢️☠️🫷 DON’T Let Polluters Off The Hook for Climate Damage
As climate disasters like floods, fires, and hurricanes intensify, our communities are paying billions to deal with climate impacts. That’s why a growing number of cities and states are filing lawsuits or passing new legislation that would make the fossil fuel industry pay their fair share for climate damages. Afterall, Big Oil knew for decades they were causing this crisis, but lied to the public and lobbied against climate solutions.
Sign this petition asking Congress to oppose this Big Oil bailout. We can’t give this toxic industry any more free passes when our communities are burning, flooding, and being destroyed by climate change.

🔥🪧📣 Send a comment: Shut it Down!

📍 214 Starr Street (2nd floor), Brooklyn • Map
Governor Hochul’s utility regulators, the Public Service Commission (PSC), are supposed to protect the public and the environment from the overreach of big utility corporations. Yet, our utility bills continue to rise as we pay for unnecessary fracked gas projects that violate our laws.
The Public Service Commission is currently accepting public comments on National Grid’s Long-Term Gas Plan Proceeding. This is our chance to demand Climate Justice and call for the retirement of the gas system. Join No North Brooklyn Pipeline and don’t miss this opportunity to make your voice heard—take action now!
Instructions
Send your letter directly to the PSC’s office. Tips for writing your comment are provided on the next page. Enter your information and click the “Start Writing” button, and we will send your comment directly to the decision-makers.
NNBKPipeline is also hosting an in-person orientation where you can learn about their campaign to shut down National Grid.
They’ll overview the basics of what National Grid is trying to build in our communities, why they are against this, and all the ways we can fight back together.
