You may have heard about the North Brooklyn Pipeline fight, but why are we fighting? Join us as we explore the implications of fossil fuel infrastructure on social, economic, and racial justice, as well as how New York climate change legislation like the CLCPA is currently being violated by pipeline construction. Finally, we will discuss ways that we can all get involved in the fight against fossil fuels! We heard from legislators, journalists and frontline activists in NYC and beyond including NYS Senator Julia Salazar, Molly Taft, Joye Braun, JK Canepa and Sunrisers Sasha, Nikki, and Maya.
