No Pipeline Through North Brooklyn

 
 

On this week's episode of Working Class Heroes Radio, we speak with organizers from the Frack Outta Brooklyn Coalition and the No North Brooklyn Pipeline campaign about their efforts to stop the construction of a liquefied natural gas pipeline under Brooklyn by National Grid, a London based energy company that is asking New York State to help pay for its completion.

Khadija and Danny give us this week's headlines and take a special on the ground report from Lupita and Mel on the ongoing struggle in New Jersey to shut down the Bergen County Detention Center.

Julian speaks with Monique Roberts, a tenant organizer at Housing Organizers for People Empowerment (HOPE), Pati Ankalli, a member of Mi Casa Resiste and the Frack Outta Brooklyn Coalition, which is a Black, Indigenous and people of color-led coalition fighting the pipeline and Fabian Rogers, also a tenant organizer with HOPE as well as with the Brownsville Resident Green Committee.
