On April 27th people from across the Northeast took over Spectra Energy’s office in Waltham, MA and served them with a final notice. The notice gave Spectra 40 days to either cancel their “AIM” fracked-gas pipeline expansion project or face escalated community resistance.
June 6th will mark the 40th and final day for Spectra to cancel the “AIM” project. Rather then cancel the project, Spectra has been pushing to start construction as soon as possible. Join us in honoring our commitment to Spectra by organizing an action, event, rally, teach-in or any other form of resistance that is geared towards stopping Spectra’s pipeline projects in the Northeast and beyond. Spectra has offices, subsidiaries and affiliates around the world – so you can participate from anywhere.
The “AIM” project is part of a $17-$30 billion scheme to bring fracked-gas from the Marcellus Shale through New England to LNG export terminals in Maine and Canada. The expanded pipeline would be built within a 100 feet of a nuclear power plant in New York, would pass by an active quarry in Massachusetts where dynamite is routinely used, and directly impact communities across the Northeast.
The project would also dramatically contribute to global climate change which already is killing 400,000 people a year. By building this pipeline, Spectra Energy and their executives would be committing crimes against humanity.
Spectra has been served with their final notice, if they don’t stop the pipeline, we will. #TimesUpRiseUp
