Dear team,

From my first day in office, environmental justice has been an important focus of my work. We’re facing an uncertain future thanks to climate change, and that uncertainty is even worse for marginalized communities who have had little say in—but feel the biggest impact from—how we address our energy and environmental needs.

This is why I stand with fellow Democrats in opposing the Mountain Valley Pipeline. It will increase carbon emissions in Virginia and pollute farms and rural communities. We need to ensure the Senate will continue to have voices who will speak against this injustice. You can support this effort by contributing to our campaign fund. 

At more than 300 miles long, this fracked gas pipeline threatens family farms, indigenous sites, wells, waterways, and the air and soil that surround them. Multiple pollution violations have already been brought against the pipeline, and more are sure to come if we allow it to continue.

team, if we’re going to protect our environment, we’ll need to protect our seats in the Virginia state house. Donate to our campaign fund today to ensure we continue fighting for a clean future.

Thank you,

Sen. Ghazala Hashmi
