SUMMARY:ACLU People Power's Know Your Rights Training
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: ACLU People Power’s Know Your Rights Training \nWHEN: Friday\, September 5\, 8 p.m. ET \nWHERE: Online (RSVP for the link) \nRSVP \n  \nAs we speak\, President Trump has deployed thousands of National Guard troops\, federal agents\, and local police forces to the streets of D.C. to target Black and Brown residents\, immigrants\, and unhoused people — all in an effort to expand his power and sow fear in our communities. \nThis militarization is about control\, not safety. And now they’re threatening to target people exercising their First Amendment right to protest. \nUnfortunately\, this is likely just the beginning as the Trump administration has threatened to deploy military troops into other beloved American cities like Chicago\, Baltimore and New York City. \nWe want to make sure you know your rights when protesting this extreme abuse of power by the administration. Join ACLU People Power’s Know Your Rights Training on 9/5 at 8 PM ET to get prepared before you take action.  \n  \nThis is our home. This is our community. These are our streets. We will defend them together. \n  \nRegister now to make sure you Know Your Rights before you take action.  \n  \nNotice of Accessibility: The ACLU strives to create inclusive and accessible events that enable all individuals to fully engage with its programming. For this program\, Translation will be available. We will have Spanish translation\, as well as interpretation for American Sign Language. Traducción al español estará disponible así como interpretación en lenguaje de señas americano (ASL). If you need accommodations to be able to fully participate in this event\, please contact info@peoplepower.org.

SUMMARY:Rally to Stop the NESE Pipeline Project!
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, September 09 \n4pm-6pm \nBayshore Waterfront Park•719 Port Monmouth Rd\, Port Monmouth\, NJ \nRegister \n  \nJoin us at the Raritan Bayshore Waterfront Park to show our strength and solidarity in opposition to the newly-revived effort to build more harmful fossil fuel infrastructure in our area. \nThe Williams Companies is once again seeking permission to build a gas pipeline through the Raritan Bay – The proposal also calls for a dangerous compressor station in Somerset County and new pipeline in Middlesex County. We already defeated this dangerous and unnecessary fossil fuel project\, but now that Trump is back in the White House\, he’s pushing to fast-track it and we need to move quickly to stop it again. \nWe need Governor Murphy and his Department of Environmental Protection to deny the critical water quality permits that are required for this project to proceed\, so this rally will take place the day before the DEP’s one and only public hearing\, to raise awareness and draw attention to this fight.
