PennEast Pipeline

Send a customized letter to YOUR elected representatives and NJDEP, saying the damaging, unneeded PennEast pipeline should be rejected.
Send a letter to the CEOs of the companies behind PennEast, telling them to STOP their pipeline.
Contact NJ Senators Booker and Menendez as well as your district’s representative. Tell them where you live and that you want them to stop PennEast because it isn’t needed and threatens our communities’ health, drinking water, air from greenhouse gas emissions, and preserved open spaces. Ask them to demand that FERC conduct closer reviews of applications for proposed pipelines like PennEast.
