The Passaic Valley Sewerage Commission has proposed to build a new gas-fired power plant in Newark’s Ironbound Community. If approved, this would be the fourth gas power plant in a community completely overburdened by pollution from decades of environmental racism.

Despite widespread opposition to this proposal, PVSC is moving ahead with this plan. **From now until July 3rd, PVSC will receive public comments regarding their proposed gas plant as part of the environmental justice review of the project.** We need to send a strong message to PVSC and Governor Murphy that they must cancel the gas plant and redesign the project in a way that doesn’t bring any more pollution to Newark, and we need your help to mobilize thousands to send comments.

**Together, we’ll gather at popular spots in Newark and ask residents to write a comment which we’ll deliver to PVSC at the end of the month.**

**Please join us for this critical community outreach! No experience is necessary!**
