March on the Mansion

July 23, 2016 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

For over two years, Virginians who face dangerous pipelines, offshore oil rigs, toxic coal ash, rapidly rising tides, and other pollution threats have appealed to Governor McAuliffe for real leadership.

We’ve sent thousands of petitions, shown up at public events, and invited the Governor to tour our threatened homes, asking him to protect our land, air and water, and to be a champion of truly clean energy.

Our voices have not been heard yet — so we’re bringing those voices together right at his doorstep.

On July 23, 2016, march to Governor McAuliffe’s house with hundreds of pipeline fighters, river lovers, faith leaders, farmers, climate activists, moms and grandfathers.

Demand real leadership for:

  • Solar panels – not pipelines!
  • Clean water – not coal ash!
  • Climate justice – not corporate control!

Tell Governor McAuliffe that his legacy rests on standing up to big corporations like Dominion and standing with Virginians fighting for a better, brighter future.

WHEN: Saturday, July 23, 2016, from 12 noon – 3:00 p.m. Rally at noon. March to the Governor’s mansion at 1 p.m.
WHERE: Richmond, VA. Meet at the Bell Tower on the Capitol grounds (or a nearby park TBD.)
WHO: Virginians from the mountains to the sea who want healthy communities and a safe climate!
