On September 19, 2026 we will begin a two-week, 113 mile prayer walk led by women through towns along the route of the proposed Constitution Pipeline in New York State.

​

​We invite teachers, students, farmers, neighbors, workers, artists, faith leaders, elected representatives and all relations to walk with us. You can walk for a week, a day, or even an hour. One step at a time, we are planting seeds of love, action and change for the generations to come.
 

The Constitution Pipeline is a 30" fracked gas pipeline proposed by the Oklahoma-based Williams Company, which would run from northeast Pennsylvania to Schoharie County, New York. Rejected in 2016 by New York State as a danger to our water, the Constitution Pipeline project has returned to line the pockets of big corporations. The pipeline would cut through 125 miles of forests, wetlands, wild habitats and rural farm communities, providing a corridor of power for AI data centers and deafening compressor stations that cause serious air pollution and acid rain.

The Women's Water Walk, which men are encouraged to join, will begin outside of Damascus, N.Y. and continue through towns along the proposed pipeline route. ​Our walk is rooted in prayer and positive action. We will sing as we walk and stop to make offerings at the many rivers, lakes and waterways along our path.  We will gather daily to discuss community solutions, actions and legal frameworks to protect our land and water – focusing not only on what we seek to stop, but also on what we are trying to build. 


WHO WE ARE

We are the womb carriers, sisters, mothers, and grandmothers who have been given a sacred responsibility to protect the water, land and all life for the generations to come. We are leading this water walk to uphold the Laws of Nature and call people into awareness regarding this grave threat to our communities.


WHY WE ARE WALKING

We are walking the path of this proposed pipeline through the ancestral territories of the Lenape, Susquehannock, and Haudenosaunee Peoples with a prayer of transformation – to turn this pipeline route into a songline of remembrance of the truths that we hold to be self-evident. 

We the People affirm our rights under Article I, Section 19 of the New York State Constitution to clean air, water, and a healthful environment; and under the U.S. Declaration of Independence to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It was 250 years ago, in 1776, that the United States of America came into being based on these principles, nourished by the original beauty and spirit of this land.

We refuse to allow these projects that put profit over life. We choose thriving communities, rich soil, productive farms, abundant fish, waterfalls, wildlife, clean water, healthy air, a stable climate, and the rich biodiversity of our forests.

Our symbol is the blue heron, a sacred water bird of these lands that reminds us of our right to self-determination and how to live in balance – guided by thoughtful, deliberate action. People of all faiths and traditions are invited to walk and join our collective prayer for the water and for all life.

​We invite teachers, students, farmers, neighbors, workers, artists, faith leaders, elected representatives and all relations to walk with us. You can walk for a week, a day, or even an hour. One step at a time, we are planting seeds of love, action and change for the generations to come.
