John, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senator Joe Manchin are working on a bill that would fasttrack the Mountain Valley Pipeline.
John,
Our movement’s organizing won us historic climate provisions in the recently-passed Inflation Reduction Act. But now, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is working with Senator Joe Manchin on a new side deal that could severely weaken the climate legislation provisions we won and would force completion of the Mountain Valley Pipeline.
The Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) is an unfinished, unwanted, unnecessary 303-mile-long fracked gas pipeline that is steamrolling its way through Virginia and West Virginia. The pipeline threatens fresh water, land, and life in Appalachia and would be a disaster for frontline communities. This is unacceptable.
That’s why on Thursday, September 8th, 2022 the Stop Mountain Valley Pipeline coalition and People vs. Fossil Fuels coalition will convene outside the Capitol to #StopMVP, show massive public opposition to Manchin’s pipeline side deal, and unite with Appalachian frontline communities. We want you there, John.
We’re bringing Appalachian resistance to D.C. so that decision makers will hear our demand to stop MVP and stop Manchin's dirty pipeline deal. Will you RSVP to join us on September 8th at the Capitol to stop Manchin’s dirty deal?
Buses are available from Durham, NC and Christiansburg, VA. For more info and to reserve your seat, RSVP on this page or visit https://peoplevsfossilfuels.org/sept8/.
If passed, Manchin and Schumer’s side deal would gut bedrock environmental protections, threaten tribal authority, endanger public health, fast-track fossil fuel projects, cut public input, and force approval for the Mountain Valley Pipeline.
Frontline communities in Appalachia – and across the country – are continuously being used as bargaining chips in this so-called Manchin/Schumer side deal. We can’t allow communities to be sacrificed to more oil and gas drilling, pipelines, and climate disasters!
In the last few weeks, we’ve made great strides on climate. Congress can’t pass a historic climate bill that invests in clean energy and then take three steps back with a fossil fuel permitting bill. Let’s keep winning for our people and planet.
In solidarity,
Team 350
P.S. If you can’t make it to the action, you can still support our coalition! Will you share the RSVP page on social media or via email?
