The POWHR Coalition has a long history of advocating for environmental justice in local, state, and federal legislatures. Since the MVP was first proposed, we have trained community members and traveled to the halls of power to make our voices heard.

In our collaboration with Virginia Organizing, we support and lead efforts to advocate for environmental justice with local chapters on the route and the state wide chapter. Visit their website for updated calls to action.

Contact our Advocacy Manager Lief Hurt (lief@powhr.org) for the latest opportunities to advocate for environmental justice in legislation.
