New Jersey Climate Activists Hold Peaceful Protest Against Fracked Gas Project
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In New Jersey, climate activists held a nonviolent civil disobedience
protest Monday at the construction site of a fracked gas expansion
project. If completed, the East 300 Upgrade Project would expand the
flow of methane through Kinder Morgan's aging Tennessee Gas Pipeline.
Among those detained by police at Monday's protest was Paula Rogovin, a
longtime environmentalist and peace activist, who called on New Jersey's
Democratic Governor Phil Murphy to cancel the project.

Paula Rogovin: "Governor Murphy, you promised! You promised
environmental justice! You promised clear air, clean water. And what do
you do? You allow this lousy compressor station to be built. You allow
pipelines."

Police officer: "You're under arrest. Come on."
