Governor Cuomo Does it Again! This Time He Vetoed The Port Ambrose Project! We Must Keep Up the Fight To Ban Fracking Across America! Donate to Help Ban Fracking

I have great news! Governor Cuomo announced he will veto the Port Ambrose Project, the liquefied natural gas facility that was proposed to be built off the coast of Long Island — protecting our health, our environment and our climate, and making it possible for the development of a proposed Wind Farm to take place! This announcement couldn’t have happened without the countless New Yorker’s, who have time and again, urged the governor to stop this project. So thank you all, for your support and petition signing! Now we need to help our fellow states, to follow our lead, and to ban fracking for good. Let’s keep up the momentum.
