In this video, Mara Robbins reads their poem about the Circle of Protection event on August 13, 2022 in Elliston, VA. The Circle of Protection is a community event that supported the fight against the Atlantic Coast Pipeline and now the Mountain Valley Pipeline. Mara’s poem calls on people to join the movement to #StopMVP.

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 dirty deal, unite the Appalachian frontlines and show how all sacrifice zones are connected so all of our voices and stories can be heard.
