​Anti-Northern Pass Rally Held at the Statehouse April 23

CONCORD, NH — Anti-Northern Pass activists will be rallying at the Statehouse at 1 p.m. on Sunday, April 23, 2017, according to a press release. The org Protect the Granite State has dubbed the event, "Hands Around the State House Rally Against Northern Pass." Attendees will be meeting at the Statehouse Plaza, 107 N. Main St. in Concord at around 12:45 p.m. and after speeches, will encircle the building.

Protect the Granite State is a Concord-based non-profit, non-partisan, grassroots organization established to provide New Hampshire residents with information about the Northern Pass Project, the 192-mile long transmission line that is slated to be built from Canada through New England. Its mission is to give greater voice to the thousands of Granite Staters who have grave concerns about the significant negative impact the project would have on New Hampshire's landscape and tourism economy while delivering no benefits to ratepayers.

Protect the Granite State, according to organizers, is committed to working with NH leaders and members of the community to make sure their concerns and voices in opposition to Northern Pass are heard in the weeks and months ahead.
