NJ: Our Planet, Our Future – Gloucester City Rally

Published May 9, 2023

### Our Planet, Our Future: New Jersey Call to Climate Action

Governor Murphy has stated his opposition to the proposed Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) export terminal in Gibbstown — but at the same time, his administration has greenlit permits for the project. South Jersey communities would be on the frontlines of this project, bearing the brunt of increased air pollution and the threat of a hazardous LNG spill from a train derailment or truck accident. **We cannot let fracked gas be exported from Gibbstown or anywhere else in New Jersey!**

**Bring your friends and family for a rally of joyful resistance on Wednesday, May 31st in Gloucester City to tell Gov. Murphy: No Gibbstown LNG Export Terminal!**

We’ll march to Proprieters Park in Gloucester City (which falls on both proposed LNG train and truck routes), where we’ll hold a rally calling on Governor Murphy to stop the Gibbstown LNG export terminal proposal from moving forward.

Schedule:

* 4pm – Meet on S. King and Cumberland Street (Near the flagpole)
* 4:30 – March around Proprietors Park
* 5:00 – Rally with speakers and music
* 6:00 – Close

We will be organizing carpools from throughout the state (down South, North and Central Jersey). If you would like to be connected to a carpool from your area, please select the carpool option in the dropdown menu and fill out this form: http://www.groupcarpool.com/t/tibao5)

*This action is part of Our Planet, Our Future, a week of actions calling on Governor Murphy to stop the seven proposed dirty energy projects threatening New Jersey. [Join us for other actions throughout the week!](https://www.mobilize.us/fww/?tag_ids=22199&utm_source=moam_aa_05082023_NJ-Our-Planet-Our-Future)*

### More Info:

If the Gibbstown export terminal project is completed, thousands of tons of volatile LNG would be transported from the Marcellus Shale in PA over two hundred miles on highly trafficked roads and train tracks to South Jersey, where it would then be exported abroad. The proposed site for the export terminal is in Gibbstown, Gloucester County, on the banks of the Delaware River.
