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:Moral March on Raleigh
DESCRIPTION:The Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival is bringing a Moral Monday March on Raleigh to the steps of the state legislature on Jones Street. In North Carolina\, we know the power of bringing together a fusion coalition of people around a common set of demands. The state legislature continues to drive its extremist agenda using voter suppression and gerrymandered maps. Their policies are disproportionately hurting the 4.6 million poor and low-income people of our state. And the US Congress has failed thus far to pass real support that would fill the gap. We are coming to Raleigh to put our state and federal elected officials that this system is killing ALL of us and we can’t… we won’t… we refuse to be silent anymore! \nThe Moral Monday March on Raleigh is part of a 10-stop mobilization tour toward the Mass Poor People’s and Low Wage Workers’ Assembly and Moral March on Washington and to the Polls on June 18\, 2022. \nThe Moral Monday March on Raleigh will lift up the voices of impacted people from across NC as well as Virginia and South Carolina\, joined by faith leaders\, moral allies\, and artists to demand that NC and this whole nation do MORE to live up its possibilities. \nRead more about how you can join us in Raleigh for the Poor People Campaign’s Moral March!
