Rally & Press Conference: No Meadowlands Power Plant, No More Fossil Fuel Projects
FRIDAY, FEB. 15 AT NOON – RIDGEFIELD PARK 

Ridgefield Park, NJ–Local residents will join elected officials and environmentalists to hold a rally and press conference to voice rising opposition to the proposed Meadowlands power plant, and call on Governor Murphy to enact an emergency moratorium on fossil fuel expansion projects.

The press conference will take place underneath a new anti-power plant billboard, and across from the existing PSE&G gas power plant in Ridgefield Park, which is less than one mile from the location of the proposed Meadowlands plant. 

The press conference comes just two days after an EMPOWER NJ report showed that Governor Murphy’s emissions reduction goals would be impossible to achieve if his administration approves projects like the Meadowlands power plant.  

WHO: Elected officials, residents, statewide environmental leaders including Clean Water Action, Don’t Gas The Meadowlands, Environment New Jersey, Food & Water Watch, Hackensack Riverkeeper, and NJ Sierra Club.

WHAT: Empower NJ Rally & Press Conference: No Meadowlands Power Plant, No More Fossil Fuel Projects 

WHEN: Friday, February 15 – Noon

WHERE: 279 Bergen Tpke, Ridgefield Park, NJ
