This Saturday, organizers fighting against the North Brooklyn Pipeline are marching through Bushwick in an effort to spread the word about the ongoing gas bill strike.
Since June 1, 2021, Brooklynites have been striking against National Grid, the company behind the North Brooklyn Pipeline, by withholding $66 from their National Grid gas bills in an effort to prevent the expansion of the pipeline, which is already under construction and operational from Brownsville to East Williamsburg, according to The City. The next portion of the pipeline is currently pending.
On Saturday, organizers will attempt to get more Brooklynites to join the strike. They will meet at Kávé Espresso Bar at 1 p.m. to write notes to neighbors to stick on to gas bill strike flyers. Then, there will be a march through the neighborhood.
