October 3-5, 2016: join the CCAN-sponsored citizens’ picket line outside Governor McAuliffe’s downtown Richmond offices. Why three days? Because we have three major battles on our hands in Virginia where we need our Governor to stand with people, not polluters: pipelines, coal ash dumping, and coastal flooding. Each day will feature the voices of Virginians on the front lines of these fights, demanding that our Governor stand up to Dominion and other fossil fuel polluters.

Come for one, two, or all three days for a lunchtime parade of colorful signs, chanting, and truth. We’ll ask Gov. McAuliffe to: 1) Reject state permits for fracked-gas pipelines; 2) Require Dominion and other utilities to permanently protect our waterways from toxic coal ash; 3) Commit to serious clean energy and adaptation solutions to keep our coastal communities above water.

WHEN: Monday, Oct. 3rd (pipeline focus), Tuesday, Oct. 4 (coal ash focus), and Wednesday, Oct. 5th (coast and climate focus). Meet at 11:30 a.m. for opening remarks; picket from noon – 1 p.m.
WHERE: Meet at the Bell Tower on the Capitol Grounds (by the corner of N 9th St. & Bank St.). We’ll picket on the sidewalk outside the Governor’s offices at 1111 E Broad St, Richmond, VA.
