Friend,
Thanks to the work of frontline leaders and community members throughout Appalachia, the Mountain Valley Pipeline—a 303-mile fracked gas climate disaster—remains incomplete.
But now, Senator Joe Manchin is trying to jam through a "side deal" in the Senate that could fast-track the pipeline and imperil these communities—and our livable future.
We just released a new blog with the top four reasons Senate Democrats must stand against the Mountain Valley Pipeline. Read up about all the dirty details now.
This project is a textbook example of environmental injustice. The Mountain Valley Pipeline would treat Appalachia as a sacrifice zone, harming low-income, rural, and majority-elder communities and encroaching on sacred Indigenous sites.
It would also lock us into decades of new pollution, exacerbating the climate crisis and veering us further away from President Biden's climate goals.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. Read our blog to find out all the dirty details about the Mountain Valley Pipeline—and then get ready to fight for our frontline communities.
Onward,
Lena Moffitt
