The fight against the Mountain Valley Pipeline isn't over. Organizers on the ground continue a relentless direct action campaign as MVP struggles to cross waterways and treacherous mountainous terrain- including the Jefferson National Forest. MVP has failed to meet their end-of-year deadline, pushing back their in-servie date to the spring. Appalachians Against Pipelines is fighting increased repression with pipeline fighters facing escalated charges, ridiculous jail sentences, and SLAPP suits.  They are calling for people all around the country to join the fight against the Mountain Valley Pipeline during solidarity days of action January 29-31. You can find out more about planning a solidarity action and the banks and corporations behind this fracked gas pipeline at bit.ly/NOMVPTARGETS.  

    You can also support folks on the ground facing repression from the state and corporation by donating to the Appalachian Legal Defense Fund.  Donate at bit.ly/AppLegalDefense to support community members being targeted for protecting their communities and land.  All funds will be used for the costs of bail, legal defense and defendant support.
