Creativity and Community to Face Off Against National Grid

Diversity Of Tactics- Art and Community Will Bring Down Fossil Fuels

While the State stonewalls us and National Grid (ahem, Greed) gives canned responses to the media, we are not backing down. We’re fighting for our communities — and we invite you to join us.

This Sunday, May 4, at 3:00pm we invite you to attend Living Soils Rising: An inspiring, theatrical spectacle at the National Grid’s Greenpoint LNG site and Newtown Creek.

Building on our hugely popular Fossil Fuel Walking Tours — which have brought over a thousand community members face-to-face with the infrastructure poisoning our neighborhoods — this event is a full-on creative uprising. Come learn the history of the site, and how we will shut 👏 it 👏 down!

We’re proud to share that Living Soils Rising is featured in the Municipal Art Society’s Annual Jane’s Walk, honoring legendary community organizer Jane Jacobs, who fought back against Robert Moses and his legacy of racist, polluting development. Sane Energy Project has been a featured participant in this annual city-wide event for years.

Join us. Be moved. Be part of the resistance.

Bring Your Family and Friends- Join Living Soils Rising This Weekend!

This Sunday is the day for music, movement, art, laughter, meditations, and remediating seedballs! Come learn the history of the site and be immersed in a feast for the eyes — a story told through the work of committed artists and activists who have prepared something truly special for Living Soils Rising. Drawing from science and art, local artists have created stunning props and visuals inspired by the living soil, the polluted site, and the urgent need for action — transforming research into spectacle.

With support from Newtown Creek Alliance, Soils Spirit Forest, the Greenfeather Foundation, No North Brooklyn Pipeline Alliance, North Brooklyn Parks Alliance, Moon Joy Divine, Hila the Earth, and Boxcutter Collective, we invite you to a magical day of art, community, and activation. It’s fun for the whole family — and it’s all happening May 4th at Under the K Bridge.

Prepare to be informed, inspired, and entertained — and join us for a day you won’t forget.

Let the PSC Know You Mean Business- Leave a Comment

What began as a fight against a fracked gas pipeline has grown into a movement for community-led energy justice. We won key victories in 2019, blocking dangerous infrastructure and exposing National Grid’s long-term fossil fuel agenda.

In 2023, those wins were rolled back with the state choosing to fund National Grid’s multi-billion request — and now, as we call for a transparent, just transition off gas, in the planning phase, we’re met with silenced voices and shut doors.

But we are not backing down. We are rooted, resilient, and building forward — demanding a real plan to decommission gas, starting with the Greenpoint LNG facility. This is what grounded resistance looks like.

The pressure is on to have our voices heard before PA Consulting — an independent firm hired by the State of New York — releases their report to the Public Service Commission (PSC) on May 16. This report will assess National Grid’s long-term gas plan, which threatens to lock us into decades more of fossil fuel dependence.

But the process has been opaque, with crucial decisions happening behind closed doors in Albany. That’s why we must keep fighting to be heard — and we know we can.

There’s still time for YOU to speak up. File a public comment with the PSC and personalize it with your story, your concerns, your vision for a livable future. Help us reach 2,000 comments and beyond this week — and show the PSC that our communities will not be ignored.

Thank you for being in this fight. We are proud to show up for the Earth with you.

xoxo,

Kim, Elliot, Jeanne, Mike, Hennessy, JK and Claire
