New Yorkers came out last minute in Binghamton today to say NO CONSTITUTION PIPELINE and NO #FRACKING!
We showed up because Trump's EPA head @epaleezeldin came to shill for the gas industry and try to run roughshod over our state's authority. WE SAY NO! @GovKathyHochul

Stay tuned for the next update and check out the recent report at https://t.co/kbLpVoOqId.

Communities need to know what they're breathing in. @EHPinfo & Habitat Recovery Project are collaborating on an air monitoring project to monitor the air around the LNG facility in Cameron, LA. This is the first of several reports that detail what's being emitted in the area.

Another day, another proposed #LNG export terminal threatening communities, marine ecosystems, and our climate. Submit a public comment opposing this project by June 1.

The proposed Constitution Pipeline has been revived, but communities across #NewYork and #Pennsylvania are ready to stop it once and for all. Sign the petition: https://t.co/otG3JdgmKb.

FERC asked Constitution Pipeline & Iroquois Gas Transmission to submit updated environmental information, including estimates of greenhouse gas emissions, permit details, & new construction timelines, by the end of May. COGO & #StoptheCON coalition will keep folks updated!

Ethylbenzene travels through the air from fuel emissions and oil and gas activity into nearby communities. While more research is needed to understand its impact on human health, we know that inhaling it can cause irritation, headaches, and dizziness.

Happy #MayDay ✊

COGO stands in solidarity with workers across industries and communities.

Today and every day, we’re fighting for safe jobs, clean air, and fair wages.

How are you celebrating or showing up for workers today?

Trump has invoked the Defense Production Act multiple times in the past month. He's justifying this expansion by framing fossil fuels as essential to national security and critical infrastructure, but this could weaken permitting & environmental review.

It is part of the VOC family because it evaporates quickly into the air.
Benzene can harm your health, causing symptoms like drowsiness, dizziness, headaches, confusion, tremors, & a fast or irregular heartbeat. Long-term exposure can lead to serious blood disorders.

[Center for Oil and Gas Organizing @Frontlines2ferc]

This #ToxicTuesday is focused on Benzene. Don’t be fooled by its sweet smell. This pollutant is anything but harmless. Benzene is a colorless, highly flammable chemical and a known carcinogen found in crude oil and gasoline.

Today,FERC waived the pre-filing requirements for Venture Global's proposed CP3 LNG terminal, making it the first time a large LNG project has skipped pre-filing, preventing community members from speaking freely to FERC Commissioners about the project & releasing major details.

The South System Expansion 4 Pipeline (SSE4) is proposed for Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia, transporting approximately 2.1 billion cubic feet of methane gas daily. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement is under review by FERC, and a request for a rehearing has been denied.

Pennsylvanians should not be forced to absorb environmental risks for federal detention expansion. Tell Governor Shapiro to reject these proposals and protect our resources, infrastructure, and neighbors! https://t.co/yuQcjFmKI7

Big Oil profits from crisis. Families pay the price. But it doesn't have to be this way. When war drives up oil prices, the biggest fossil fuel companies make billions while working families pay $200 million more every day on gasoline than they were just days ago.

Sign on to the letter directed to Attorney General James at https://t.co/xlNWaoEtb7

In 2021, over 70% of voters in New York voted to include the right to a clean and healthy environment in the state's Bill of Rights, becoming known as the New York Green Amendment.

[Center for Oil and Gas Organizing @Frontlines2ferc]

The result is some very troubling court outcomes. New Yorkers can demand the Attorney General embrace NY’s Green Amendment and recognize it as creating an enforceable constitutional right that all NY state government officials must follow and that New Yorkers can enforce.
