After finishing a 108-mile walk along the route of the proposed Constitution Pipeline in New York, advocates rallied Tuesday at the state Capitol.

It was to pressure Gov. Kathy Hochul to “stand strong” against the Trump administration’s attempts to force the pipeline through.

The project is a 125-mile, 30-inch natural gas pipeline designed to run from Pennsylvania’s fracking fields through New York counties to connect with regional networks.

Advocates at Tuesday’s rally say they don’t want it.

“My fear is that not enough people love water or understand the importance of water,” said Cheryl Angel. “So, we created this walk to cherish water and show people how valuable it is.”

Advocates say their concern is the pipeline will harm the “rivers, lakes and streams” along its route in New York if it’s built.

To further highlight this concern, the group walked through the Capitol to deliver water collected from the bodies of water from their walk to the governor’s office.

In a statement to Spectrum News 1, the governor’s office said in part:

“There is no proposal for Constitution pipeline currently before New York State,” said Ken Lovett, Senior Communications Advisor on Energy and Environment for Governor Kathy Hochul. “The Department of Environmental Conservation sent back the application three times to the developer for lack of completeness. The developer then pulled the application and is looking for the federal government to circumvent New York’s permitting process, a move the state has sued over to protect our oversight rights.”

During the event, Spectrum News 1 asked demonstrators if they were in communication with the Trump administration following EPA administrator Lee Zeldin’s visit to Binghamton in June to pressure Hochul to approve the project.

“Our organizers were there in Binghamton when he was there saying a lot of the same things that you’re hearing today about being impacted residents who live in this state,” said Renee Vogelsang, New York director of Frack Action.

The pipeline’s builder, Williams Companies, is reportedly trying to have the pipeline online by the end of 2027.
