Community Capacity Initiative
Current Projects Include:
Stop the Constitution Pipeline!
Our Yard-Sign Campaign:
Stop the CON is an alliance of community groups, environmental organizations, Indigenous leaders, and local advocates working together to stop the proposed Constitution Pipeline (route map here). Scroll down to learn more about us.
In brief, your donation will help provide materials for our local volunteers and partner organizations to inform and educate neighbors; build support to stop the pipeline and related projects, including AI data centers; and ensure New York and Pennsylvania communities have the resources they need to speak out before decisions are made.
While your contribution will primarily fund yard signs, it may also help fund:
-
Posters
-
Flyers, mailers and community outreach materials
-
Event signage
-
Educational handouts
-
Other shared resources used by the Stop the CON coalition.
Here's what your gift can do:
-
$10 provides a yard sign for a local resident.
-
$25 provides 25 window signs to help spread awareness throughout a community.
-
$50 helps print educational flyers for events and canvassing.
-
$100 provides tabling materials for community events, helping volunteers to educate hundreds of people.
-
Any amount strengthens a growing effort to educate, organize, and empower communities across NY and PA.
The Stop the CON coalition comprises approximately 40 organizations of varying sizes, capacities, and areas of expertise, all based in the US northeast. While each partner contributes in different ways, we are united by a shared commitment to protecting clean water, defending property rights, preserving local ecosystems, and ensuring communities have a meaningful voice in decisions that affect their future.
The fight doesn't end with your donation. Visit our website, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, and join our Facebook group to stay connected and learn about future opportunities to take action.
Thank you for standing with Stop the CON and investing in community-led action! This fundraising campaign is hosted by Community Capacity Initiative, based in Cooperstown, NY, in partnership with Local Matters, an all-volunteer group centered in Sidney, NY.
