On April 22-24, the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, millions of people around the world are going online for a three-day mobilization demanding action on the climate emergency.

Live online from the 'virtual' front door of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), Beyond Extreme Energy will broadcast a conversation with activists from Oregon, Texas, North Carolina, West Virginia and Pennsylvania on the frontlines of the US Fracked Gas Buildout.

FERC has approved permits for nearly every single fracked gas pipeline and gas infrastructure project that gas industry companies have ever submitted to them. And even during the ongoing pandemic crisis, FERC continues to hold commissioners' meetings, continues to allow pipeline construction, and continues to approve new fracked gas pipelines, compressor stations, export terminals, and more.

We'll share the other side of the story - bringing you a live, personal conversation amongst advocates who live in the path of those pipelines, compressors and export terminals. We heard many such stories of the harm FERC is causing and the resistance to it during our BXE FERC Into FREC (Federal Renewable Energy Commission) road show last year. We traveled from western PA, through West Virginia, Virginia, and the Carolinas, and ending in Georgia at the Elba Island gas export terminal.

Here are the bios of the people who will be speaking on the call:

She has over 40 years of experience advocating for environmental, social and economic justice and is currently a leader in resistance against the Atlantic Coast Pipeline and other gas industry infrastructure in her area.
