Rally to Halt the Mariner East 2 Pipeline—October 17, Harrisburg

October 17, 2017 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Tuesday, Oct 17 at 11:00 am there will be a rally and press conference at the capitol building in Harrisburg with Senator Andy Dinniman and residents impacted by the construction of the Mariner East 2 pipelines.

The Senator and other speakers will highlight the concerns of residents, who are demanding that Governor Wolf halt the construction and operation of the Mariner East project due to serious school and public safety concerns, and his statutory obligations to protect the health, safety, and welfare of residents of the Commonwealth.

Press conference will be followed by a walk with the Senator, other legislators, public officials and citizens to the Governor’s office to deliver a petition (http://goo.gl/FUF8fG) initiated by Del-Chesco United for Pipeline Safety, a coalition of 8 community safety groups in Delaware and Chester Counties.

A bi-partisan delegation of residents and lawmakers will deliver the petition bearing thousands of signatures, along with handwritten postcards and letters from impacted residents.  Residents will take their message directly to Governor Wolf’s office to tell him to stop the construction of this dangerous pipeline.  More information on this event is available here.
