The League of Conservation Voters is hosting an event with President Biden. We will show up, too. It is an outrage that an “environmental” organization would honor the President days after he approved a pipeline. We cannot accept this. And we won’t.

10 days ago, President Biden signed into law the Mountain Valley Pipeline, which could transport 2,000,000,000 cubic-feet-per-day of fracked gas.

This was not a compromise.

This was a crime.

The Mountain Valley Pipeline would have the climate impact of adding 19,000,000 cars to the road. What the fuck? As it is, people in both the economic and financial capitals of this nation are chocking on the air.

It. Gets. Worse. The President also greenlit the Willow Project. This would carry 180,000 barrels of oil per day. We need to cut emissions in half by 2030. It would only START pumping oil close to 2030. This is a death sentence for us.

It got zero attention (maybe because the media keeps taking fossil fuel money) but right after Willow, the President ALSO approved the Alaska LNG Project, which, somehow, would cause MORE climate damage than Willow.

We believe the League of Conservation Voters is well-intended but honoring a President who has done a mediocre job on climate and backstabbed us on too many occasions to count is poor strategy. He will not fear our movement if he knows we will brown-nose no matter how many fossil fuel projects he approves.

Don’t just like. Don’t just share. We need you to join us in-person. We wouldn’t ask if it wasn’t important.

Protesting at an event hosted by another environmental group is uncomfortable. But dammit we didn’t start this group to go along and get along. We did so because we need to stand up and fight. And we will do so even when it is uncomfortable. That is a promise.
