Quick reminder for those of you who already heard about our solidarity actions with Appalachians Against Pipelines -and there are events planned TODAY at the headquarters of two of the three biggest banks!?

First, important news update that you've hopefully heard already: The Biden administration has announced a pause on new LNG export permits, starting with the CP2 project, pending review of their impact on the climate and other factors. Congratulations to all who worked hard on this, especially our frontline friends from Texas and Louisiana. Because of this announcement, those same frontline leaders have also canceled the planned protest Feb 6-8 in Washington DC. Click here to learn more and get updates.

But because the announcement doesn't impact domestic gas pipelines, or the MVP (which already has all the permits), we're not changing our plans to take action Monday-Wednesday, January 29-31, in solidarity with AAP. Click here to learn more about taking action next week - there are several events lined up in NC, VA, and DC, and lots of tools and resources for you to use, wherever you live. Even if you can't make it next week, you can still take action by making a call or posting on social media. All the tools are linked in that post.?

Solidarity with AAP days of action Jan 29-31

Quick recap for those who need it:

The fight against the Mountain Valley Pipeline isn't over. Organizers on the ground continue a relentless direct action campaign as MVP struggles to cross waterways and treacherous mountainous terrain- including the Jefferson National Forest. MVP has failed to meet their end-of-year deadline, pushing back their in-service date to the spring.

Appalachians Against Pipelines is fighting increased repression with pipeline fighters facing escalated charges, ridiculous jail sentences, and SLAPP suits. They are calling for people all around the country to join the fight against the Mountain Valley Pipeline during solidarity days of action January 29-31. You can find out more about planning a solidarity action and the banks and corporations behind this fracked gas pipeline here. ?

Last but not least, if you can give money but not time, please donate to to the Appalachian Legal Defense Fund in support folks on the ground facing repression from the state and corporation. All funds will be used for the costs of bail, legal defense and defendant support.

See you in the streets,

Drew and the 198 methods to stop climate change but the MVP ain't one crew
