On Thursday, September 8, 2022 the Stop MVP coalition and People vs. Fossil Fuels coalition will convene in Washington, D.C. for ‘No Sacrifice Zones: Appalachian Resistance Comes to DC,’ to stop the MVP, show massive public opposition to Manchin’s pipeline side deal, unite the Appalachian frontlines and show how all sacrifice zones are connected so all of our voices and stories can be heard.
But we know not everyone will be able to make it to DC. Luckily, there’s a lot you can do to support our resistance remotely. We will continue to update this list in the run-up to the event.
