Petition updateSAVE THE ROOSEVELT ISLAND STEAM POWER PLANT: DEMAND TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITYTomorrow Is the Day — Town Hall at 6 PM, Wednesday, April 15

Dear neighbors and supporters,

Tomorrow — Tuesday, April 15 at 6:00 PM — is the moment we've been building toward for 135 days.

After months of unanswered questions, stonewalling, and a demolition proceeding without structural reports, environmental data, or community consent, officials from HPD, DOB, RIOC, and DEC have finally agreed to face the community directly.

This is not a formality. This is our opportunity to demand real answers.

Come ready to ask:

  • Where is the structural engineering report that justifies "emergency" demolition?
  • What are the results of asbestos, lead, and environmental testing — and why haven't they been released to the public?
  • Why was adaptive reuse never formally studied?
  • What community protections are in place right now, while demolition continues?


     📍 Good Shepherd Chapel, 543 Main Street 🕕 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM

Can't make it in person? Share this update so your neighbors can.

The 135 days of silence from city agencies didn't happen by accident. Neither did the 1,698+ of you who stood up. Strong turnout tomorrow sends a clear message: this community is watching, and we expect answers.

Stop the demolition. Release the reports. Let the public be heard.

See you tomorrow.
