SUMMARY:NC Environmental Justice Network Summit!
DESCRIPTION:NCEJN Family Reunion: Remembering\, Recovering\, Resisting\, Reimagining\nFriday October 14th to Saturday October 15th\nWhitakers\, North Carolina \nREGISTER TODAY! \nIn 1997\, following a meeting of the National Environmental Justice Advisory Committee (NEJAC) at North Carolina Central University (Durham\, NC)\, a few concerned citizens\, activists\, academicians\, and attorneys gathered to discuss forming a committee to address Environmental Justice (EJ) issues in North Carolina. \nIt became evident that an Environmental Justice Summit was needed solely to address the environmental degradation suffered by poor communities and communities of color in NC. The ground work was laid for the First Annual NCEJN Summit. \nAfter that initial meeting\, additional concerned individuals\, organizations\, and state agencies were invited to help plan and support the Summit. The NCEJ Network grew out of the 1st Annual NC Community Environmental Justice Summit held in 1998 at the Historical Franklinton Center at Bricks in Whitakers\, NC. \nOver the years\, the format has shifted to include listening panels\, academic presentations and other activities as appropriate. With this being our first in-person Summit in two years\, we decided to focus on connection and community foregoing some of those aspects but maintaining the goal of building power and paving the way forward.

SUMMARY:Stop the Mountain Valley Pipeline Action Party
DESCRIPTION:The International Energy Agency has concluded that there must be no new oil\, gas or coal development if the world is to reach net zero by 2050. \n\n\nOn September 6th at 7 pm (ET)\, Climate Action Now will host a free action party with four extraordinary activists battling the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) and Senator Manchin’s side deal to accelerate new fossil fuel infrastructure. Register Today! \n\n\nOur featured guests will brief us on what’s at stake and guide us through concrete actions we can take to help stop the MVP and side deal during the party with the free Climate Action Now app. \n\n\nWhy September 6th? The timing is critical. First\, activists will assemble at Congressional offices on Sept. 8 in Washington D.D. to lobby against the MVP and we want them to walk into offices that have already heard from a LOT of people opposing the project. Also\, rumor has it that the “Manch side-deal” will be voted on by the end of September as part of the budget package. So\, we need to quickly ramp up our efforts to stop it. \nAbout the Featured Guests:\nCrystal Cavalier-Keck is the co-founder of Seven Directions of Service with her husband. She is a citizen of the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation in Burlington\, NC and Chair of the Environmental Justice Committee for the NAACP. \nRussell Chisholm serves as Mountain Valley Watch Coordinator for the Protect Our Water\, Heritage Rights coalition in the campaign to stop Mountain Valley Pipeline and dangerous fossil fuel expansion through Virginia and West Virginia. The Mountain Valley Watch project documents and reports potential violations of environmental law from pipeline construction. \nJessica Sims is the Appalachian Voices Virginia Field Coordinator. Born and raised in Central Virginia. Jessica is has worked extensively with Chesapeake Climate Action Network and the Sierra Club Virginia Chapter on their pipeline campaigns. \nJonathan Sokolow is an attorney and activist in Reston\, Virginia who served as a Staff Attorney with the Legal Aid Society of the City of New York\, General Counsel to the Vermont State Employees Union. and Senior Assistant General Counsel to the United Mine Workers of America Health and Retirement Funds.

SUMMARY:Virtual Hearing for Duke Energy's Carbon Plan: Evening Hearing
DESCRIPTION:On May 16th\, Duke Energy submitted a proposed Carbon Plan for public comment in compliance with NC HB 951 requiring the NC Utilities Commission (NCUC) to develop a Carbon Plan by the end of 2022.

Adding insult to injury\, it does nothing to combat fracking and pipelines or animal waste digester and biogas activities\, which directly impact drinking water resources in addition to climate and air quality. These practices disparately impact rural\, low-income\, and BIPOC communities. \nLearn more about Duke Energy’s Dirty Energy Plan\, Hearing Dates\, & What YOU Can Do \n \nThe two virtual hearings will be held remotely via Webex\, with members of the public participating by phone. People who would like to testify must register in advance by 5:00pm\, August 16\, 2022\, by emailing the Commission at ncucpublichearing@ncuc.net or by calling 919-733-0837. \nPeople who want to register must provide their name\, the docket number (E-100 Sub 179)\, the telephone number that they will use to participate in the hearing\, and the topic of their testimony.
