In addition to taking on Duke’s LNG plant, the Coalition is also fighting to stop pipelines and compressor stations, including Duke and Dominion’s massive 600 mile $7.5 billion Atlantic Coast Pipeline (ACP), which starts in West Virginia, and is proposed to end in the tiny indigenous community of Prospect. After those projects are halted, we will turn our attention to other environmental injustices.

Recently the New Republic published an article by Nick Martin of the Saponny tribe in NC : “The Next Standing Rock is Everywhere”.
In it he wrote: “Standing Rock was one node in a vast web. As the world’s carbon emissions approach the no-return threshold, as more black and Indigenous and poor communities are pushed into environmental catastrophe, that web is still expanding. There won’t be just one battle in which marginalized communities attempt to defend themselves against capitalists extracting the last bit of value from the fossil fuel economy. There will be many. And they’ve already started."
The battle of the Robeson County Coalition to Protect Our Sacred Lands and Waters is one critical node in this vast web of resistance.
