The fight against new oil and gas pipelines is crucial for #ClimateChange, but both parties in the U.S. have failed to act. Despite this, the #NoNewFossilFuels movement is strong, with activists — even conservatives — fighting back.

Recent victories, like the successful resistance against the #MountainValleyPipeline, show that direct action works. As Trump and MAGA push for more #FossilFuel infrastructure, this growing movement could be key in challenging them.

The MVP Southgate is an extension on
the dirty, dangerous, and unnecessary Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) in Virginia and West Virginia.

Its a spur to connect the existing MVP route across the border of Virginia into North Carolina.

The MVP has been defeated multiple times, now we need to do it again - and we have only been given until March 11 to comment!

Defenders in #Appalachia Against #MountainValleyPipeline Avoided #FelonyCharges

"Initially we were charged with #conspiracy. The real conspiracy is between the #prosecutors and the #judges, between the #cops and the #corporations."

By #AppalachiansAgainstPipelines, #CensoredNews, March 3, 2025

"Last Tuesday, 12 pipeline fighters had court in Giles County for charges resulting from three different actions against the Mountain Valley Pipeline in 2023 and 2024 in and around the #JeffersonNationalForest, including one site where #MVP was drilling through the mountain under the #AppalachianTrail.

"Eleven of the defendants accepted non-cooperating plea deals -- all of them were facing absurd felony charges, including
felony abduction and felony 'unauthorized use of a vehicle.' In the end, they plead to misdemeanor charges and there were NO felony convictions. They were sentenced to community service, probation, and to pay restitution. The court room was PACKED all day long with supporters!"

DISASTROUS MOUNTAIN VALLEY PIPELINE ⛰️

No one has ever built a pipeline like the #MountainValleyPipeline before. Why? Because it's an endless wave of #disasters waiting to happen. It's too big, and there are too many mountains, waterways, caves, and communities in its path.

So, who would possibly finance such a terrible idea? Unfortunately, local governments, the federal government, and #BankOfAmerica.

1/5

A long-married couple, deeply concerned about the future, protested against the #MountainValleyPipeline and fossil fuel infrastructure, citing #ClimateEmergency and war concerns.

They locked themselves to a structure to block construction, continuing a legacy of activism. They remain hopeful and advocate for intergenerational collaboration in the fight for #ClimateJustice & social change.

Blood Memories: #Indigenous Women on the Frontlines Inspire with Words and Action

By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews, April 17, 2024

NEW YORK -- "Indigenous women around the world are battling #FossillFuels, #mining, #exploitation and #oppression. The abuse of #MotherEarth is directly connected to the violence against Indigenous women.

"Women's Earth and #ClimateAction Network International hosted Indigenous women on panels during the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues on Wednesday.

"Osprey Orielle Lake, WECAN executive director, opened the session calling for a #ceasefire in #Gaza, an end to the oppression, and return of the hostages. 'The killing must be stopped now,' she said.

"Indigenous women speak on the struggles, from the battle to halt the #MountainValleyPipeline and protect their burial places, to #Anishinaabe protecting the water and animals around the #GreatLakes and the battles against mining in the #Amazon, #Ecuador, #Colombia, #Brazil and #Peru."
