John,
On Feb 24, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case to
determine if the Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP) can cross the Appalachian
trail. This is the first time the Supreme Court has heard a case about a
pipeline in years — and a major opportunity to put a meaningful check on
the power of pipelines and the fossil fuel industry.
While lawyers make their case to the Justices inside the courtroom, our
people-powered movement will demonstrate that a majority of the public
outside the court wants a check on the power of fossil fuel and pipeline
companies.
[ [link removed] ]This is an open call to all pipeline fighters, mountain defenders,
water protectors and climate resisters to join us in DC on the morning of
February 24, 2020. Click here to RSVP.
With the undue influence that fossil fuel and pipeline companies have
currently, it is critical that we unify our movement through escalated
action against all pipelines and let our position be known to the Supreme
Court and the public.
Like all pipelines, the Atlantic Coast Pipeline is a disaster in the
making. If built, the ACP would produce emissions equal to 20 coal plants
a year. The project would also require 38 miles of mountaintop removal,
devastating countless communities including the African American community
of Union Hill, Virginia and the homes of 30,000 Indigenous people across
North Carolina.

unchecked power of the fossil fuel industry. Stand with us at the Supreme
Court on Monday, February 24th.
There will be roles and responsibilities available for anyone interested.
To make it possible for as many people to participate as possible, we’ll
organize a communal breakfast, prayer vigil, and briefing before our
rally.
See you at the Supreme Court,
Ju-Hyun
PS - We also welcome your participation with shared travel, housing and
other arrangements. [ [link removed] ]Let us know on the form if you need assistance or
