People’s Caravan For Clean Air and Water’s NO MVP NO ACP Rally

At this event, we want to send a message to Governor Northam, DEQ, and the SWCB to stop construction and do a stream by stream analysis. Northam needs to call for the SWCB to pull the permits and direct DEQ to stop work now! At their next meeting, SWCB needs to pull the permits.

We want to tell Northam to reappoint Roberta Kellam to the State Water Control Board.

We want to highlight what the pipelines mean to the people of Union Hill who are facing the building of a compressor station 70 feet from their homes. The compressor station has a kill zone which Dominion cannot even define. We want to highlight the danger to the drinking of water of over 400,000 people.

We want the need for the Southside Connector Project in Norfolk and Chesapeake, to be reexamined. With gas demand being flat, is it worth constructing this 24 inch, fracked gas, expansion pipeline through neighborhoods and within the potential incineration zones of several schools? This is unacceptable, our children should be safe in their classrooms and families should be safe in their homes.

We have to continue to shine the light on how bad the Moutain Valley Pipeline and Atlantic Coast Pipelines for the environment, for peoples, health.

At the same time, we also want to tell the world that we want Renewable Energy.

We’re doing this on a weekend hoping lots of people will STAND UP FIGHT BACK. This is everyone’s issue not just the people who are directly in the path of the pipelines.

So bring a sign and join us in sending a message that Virginia is not going to put up with this.
