Indigenous water protectors and allies are fighting to protect their land. President Biden has the power to stop this project. He can review the permits granted by Trump and halt MVP and MVP Southgate construction immediately.
We are organizing daily in communities to warn them of the dangers that are coming.
Pipeline construction is typically broken into chunks called “spreads.” Not one of MVP’s nine spreads is 100% complete; the entire route is only 51% complete. In total, MVP’s route includes more than 225 miles of high landslide risk—more miles than any other approved gas pipeline, comprising more than 74% of the route.
The remaining sections to be constructed include some of the steepest slopes, at the highest risk for landslides and threats to clean water. And all this construction damages private property along the way—when there is no public benefit.
MVP would yield the equivalent of emissions from 23 average U.S. coal plants or over 19 million passenger vehicles driven every year.
This pipeline crosses hundreds of streams, creeks, rivers, and watersheds. This means that the Biden Administration can reverse anti-environmental actions taken under Trump that greased the skids for the fracked gas MVP.
This will be the first climate test for his administration and we are making it clear that the MVP, MVP Southgate, Keystone XL, Dakota Access, and Line 3 pipelines must be stopped.
