Today is the day we take on Manchin's power over US energy policy. I don't know exactly how this is going to turn out, so I'm asking you to tune in with us and our allies today online for two reasons:

First, your eyeballs help keep us safe as we risk arrest, and lend us power as we speak truth to politicians and officials who aren’t used to being challenged.
Second, a lot is going to happen today, and social media is a fast, effective way to spread the word and loop others into the fight.

So, let's go!

And read on for more social media toolkits, actions, and more.

Call now to stop Manchin's dirty debt ceiling deal

Here is some of what's planned, and why:

Starting at 7am, we'll join friends from Beyond Extreme Energy & Third Act to block driveways and part of the city street with elders in rocking chairs, banners, and a 10 foot tall puppet showing Senator Joe Manchin pulling the strings of FERC Commissioners. Together with our allies, we’re demanding that FERC leadership stop allowing Senator Joe Manchin to manipulate and dominate their decision making.

At 9:15 we'll play host to a press conference and community speak-out with frontline speakers from Texas, Louisiana, West Virginia, and more.

At 10 am, some of us will march into the monthly FERC commissioners’ meeting carrying thousands of comments 198 methods activists like you helped send on climate and environmental justice.

Tune in with us on Facebook or Twitter to get all the news, and use our social media toolkit to spread the word about all the action at FERC!

Later in the Afternoon, we're headed to Capitol Hill to stop the latest version of Manchin's dirty deal. Earlier this week, news broke that House Republicans think they’re close to a deal that would eviscerate our protections from fossil fuel infrastructure and roll back any hopes of Environmental Justice for All.

Now, it's all hands on deck as we try to scramble enough opposition to stop Manchin and House Republicans from once again hijacking the process.

You can follow along on social media, and use our tools to write, call, or sign petitions to your member of Congress backing us up. The phone calls are especially important. So click here or call (833) 971-2490 to tell your Senators not to accept and debt ceiling deal that expedites the Mountain Valley Pipeline, in particular, or fossil fuels, in general.

Finally – all these actions, materials, memes, and social media cost time and money to produce. So pitch in if you can! Chip in $1.98. $19.80, $198, or whatever you can afford to help us cover the costs of these debt ceiling actions. Or if you're into the FERC werk, click here to chip in $1.98 or more to cover the cost of delivering all the 3,300+ comments and taking action today.

Thanks for taking action,

Drew and the 198 zombie slayers crew
