Hi ,
We’ve been working with Brooklyn community groups to address the environmental racism and impact of the North Brooklyn pipeline ([link removed]) . We began in 2021 with a groundbreaking federal civil rights ([link removed]) case. Our next chance to make change is this week at hearings on September 20 & 21.

Take action! Join us to support Black, Brown, and Indigenous Brooklyn communities rising up to testify about the impact the North Brooklyn Pipeline has on Brownsville, Ocean-Hill, Williamsburg, and Bushwick residents.

We will be highlighting New York State’s discriminatory failure to conduct and ensure environmental testing to protect the communities of color who live along the pipeline in violation of state and federal environmental and civil rights laws. Alongside Brownsville Green Justice, the Ocean Hill-Brownsville Coalition of Young Professionals, Mi Casa Resiste, and Indigenous Kinship Collective, we’re showing up at New York State DPS hearings to demand we are included and our health and safety is protected on September 20 & 21.

Here are the full details:

Brooklyn community activists hold an action to stop the construction of the North Brooklyn Pipeline.

This is an important moment for indigenous, Black, and Latinx communities fighting the disproportionate harms to their health and environments the pipeline and its construction are causing.

Thank you for helping to support!
