NYC Electeds, Advocates to Submit 10K Comments Demanding Gov. Hochul Reject Costly Polluting Williams Pipeline

NEW YORK, NY (08/14/2025) (readMedia)-- On Saturday, Stop The Williams Pipeline Coalition NY will deliver 10,000 new public comments (making 50,000 total) to Governor Hochul's Manhattan office, demanding she reject the Williams NESE pipeline that will poison waterways, drain New Yorkers' wallets, and endanger communities. Prior to the comment submission, advocates fighting the pipeline will host a rally alongside elected officials and 50+ New Yorkers outside of the Governor's midtown office, calling for her to reject the Hochul/Trump pipeline that has already been rejected by the New York Department of Environmental Conservation three times over the past eight years.
