Rally tonight - Thursday, June 12th, 6 pm
Proposal to construct a compressor station in Franklin Township (Somerset) to send fracked PA gas to NYC! The gas will be sent through existing pipelines in EB to the compressor station in Old Bridge.

The proposed compressor station and 23 miles of pipeline threatening Franklin Township with toxic emissions, methane leaks, and environmental damage means that NJ will be the recipient of the risks but not the benefits. Join the Franklin Township Task Force on June 12 and June 17
