Put a Poster in Your Window!

You can help with outreach by putting a poster in a window as well as placing and distributing flyers.

The objective is simple: NO Gas Pipeline!

Spectra Energy wants to build a major natural gas pipeline expansion to New York City that will run through the heart of Jersey City. Jersey City & NYC will bear tremendous risks with no reward, all for the benefit of Spectra Energy shareholders!

Natural gas pipelines are prone to high risk of leaks that are released as either fine mists of toxic spray or result in fires and explosions that may do significant damage to property and life.
