Empower NJ-No Fossil Fuel Projects is a coalition of over 70 environmental, citizen, faith, and progressive groups. Some of the groups involved in this campaign are, NJ Sierra Club, Green Faith, Food & Water Watch, Indivisibles, Environment NJ, Blue Wave, People Over Pipelines, Clean Water Action, UU Faith Action NJ, Delaware Riverkeeper Network, Citizen Action and more.
New Jersey is being impacted by climate change. We are being overrun by fossil-fuel infrastructure projects that will deepen climate impacts. If 8 proposed pipelines and 5 power plants are all built, they will increase our CO2 and GHG by 32% and block Governor Murphy’s 100% renewable energy goals.
We will be asking legislators to urge Gov. Murphy to put a moratorium on all fossil fuel projects in the state. We will also be urging legislators to support bills that will move New Jersey more quickly to 100% renewable energy, expand EV use and reduce greenhouse gases to combat climate change. These bills and others can help create more green jobs and build a green economy.
Who: Empower NJ, including the New Jersey Sierra Club, Food and Water Watch, Clean Water Action, Delaware Riverkeeper Network and other groups.
What: Lobbying legislators to support key bills promoting green energy, and urging them to support a moratorium on fossil-fuel projects.
Where: New Jersey Statehouse Annex, 137 West State St., Trenton, NJ 08608, meet by the cafeteria whenever you arrive.
When: Monday, June 10, 9:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m.
