MVP Resistance Volunteer Sign Up

In 2018, construction on the 303-mile fracked-gas Mountain Valley Pipeline began in Virginia and West Virginia. Then, MVP announced plans to extend the unfinished mainline 70-miles into North Carolina via the MVP Southgate Extension, which would require a massive, polluting compressor station in a predominately Black community near Chatham, VA. Construction on Southgate will only begin if the compressor station gets approved, and NC DEQ has denied necessary permits multiple times on the grounds of the Clean Water Act.

As of spring 2023, MVP construction has involved over 500 violations of permit conditions, laws, and regulations, and almost 75% of the route slices through 'moderate-high' or 'high' landslide risk terrain. Key permits are being withheld at the state and federal levels.

Disturbingly, the Biden Admin has publicly approved MVP, and fossil-fuel-backed politicians across the aisle like Sen. Joe Manchin are attempting to pass legislation disguised as "permitting reform" that would fast-track the MVP, and gut bedrock environmental laws and community protections like NEPA and the Clean Water Act.

Since fall 2022, frontline communities have risen up united and helped defeat these attempts 4 times and counting. We need your help to keep up the fight!


CALL TARGET SENATORS

“Hi, my name is _________ and I live in _________. Please oppose any deregulation, gutting of core environmental protections like NEPA, overriding judicial due process, any polluter giveaways, silencing community voices, and attempts to fast track fossil fuel projects like the Mountain Valley Pipeline or mining projects like Oak Flat. Please support instead the Just Transition to a clean, renewable energy economy and the A. Donald McEachin Environmental Justice for All Act, which supports the right of all people to clean air, pure water and an environment that supports life.

[Please share about your own community and the impacts of deregulation, and why you support a Just Transition and environmental justice]”
