Monday, May 18 a crowd gathered in Kingston, NY to celebrate over 50 municipal and county resolutions opposing Pilgrim Pipelines in New York and New Jersey. The Coalition Against Pilgrim Pipelines – NY (CAPP-NY) launched the campaign with a press conference and rally. People there were against the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure throughout the Hudson Valley. They aim to stop Pilgrim Pipelines from being built, while also pressing to ban dangerous rail cars and barges carrying Bakken Shale crude oil, citing threats to rivers and streams, drinking water, climate, public health and safety, and to the regional economy.

“It’s time for us to move our regional economy towards clean energy and a bright future, away from the old, destructive, dying oil economy of the past!"

Organized with: “48 Hours of Actions for Safe Clean Energy” NJ / NY, May 16th – 18th"
