Blow the Whistle on Dominion

May 21, 2016 @ 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

blow-the-whistle-21may2016WHAT: Blow the Whistle on Dominion!
WHERE: 5th and Tredegar, across from Brown’s Island in Richmond
WHEN: Saturday, May 21, 6:30 PM. We’ll “blow the whistle” at 8 PM.
WHO: Concerned climate activists like you!

Every May, Dominion spends big bucks sponsoring Riverrock, “the nation’s premier” outdoor sports and music festival on Brown’s Island, along the James River in downtown Richmond.

But this year, the irony is especially outrageous. As Dominion sponsors “Riverrock,” it is simultaneously fighting for a license to keep polluting Virginia’s most beloved rivers — the James, the Potomac, and the Elizabeth — with toxic coal ash waste left behind from decades of burning dirty coal.

We all enjoy a good festival — but we can’t let Dominion, Virginia’s #1 climate polluter, get away with using fun events like Riverrock to cover up its dirty energy and dirty politics.

Saturday, May 21, 2016, on the biggest night of Riverrock, we’ll don yellow t-shirts, grab our whistles, and line the sidewalks leading to Brown’s Island. And right before the headline act comes on stage, we’ll “blow the whistle” on Dominion.  We’ll “blow the whistle” at 8 PM.
