This past week, the Virginia Water Control Board voted to approve the permit for the dangerous and unneeded Mountain Valley Pipeline for fracked gas. We strongly condemn this decision, and the McAuliffe Administration’s support for the pipeline.

Next week, the Virginia Water Control Board will hold another round of hearings, this time on the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. We have one last shot to make our voices heard and stand up against fracked-gas pipelines in Virginia.

Our legal challenges could be the final chance to stop these monstrous pipelines that threaten our climate, water, and most vulnerable communities. But Governor McAuliffe has the authority to stop these pipelines. We need to make him see the light.

Join us Monday, December 11th at 6:30 pm for a candlelight vigil at the Governor’s Mansion. Come after work, come when you can, invite your friends! Show the Governor the moral light and urge him to reject these pipelines once and for all.

We’ll gather on Governor’s Street behind the mansion and make our way over together. If you have trouble finding the meeting point or have any questions, call Jamshid Bakhtiari at 757-386-8107.
