Three Sisters Camp Digs in to Resist the Atlantic Coast Pipeline

The following video announces the start of a public campaign against the Atlantic Coast Pipeline in so-called Virginia.

The video communique reads:

Greetings, from so-called Virginia.

The unholy and hated corporate leviathan known as Dominion Energy has begun felling trees for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline, a project poised to cross hundreds of rivers and streams and bore underneath the Appalachian Trail. Dominion’s ACP (along with EQT’s Mountain Valley Pipeline) disproportionately target communities of color and working class families in Appalachia. These projects have been rammed through via Dominion’s political and economic monopoly over every aspect of Virginia’s energy economy.

Dominion has already commenced with clearing and surveying using crews from Utah and Texas, despite their ear numbing promises of jobs for Virginians. We send out cheerful greetings to comrades everywhere.

Water Is Life! Death to the Black Snake!

Nearby in West Virginia, please are also fighting the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) and have launched a tree sit. From the Facebook group, Appalachians Against Pipelines, the group is putting out regular updates. They recently wrote:

Currently, the only thing physically standing in the way of pipeline construction is the treesit on Peters Mountain. People in trees are doing what our “representatives” and “regulators” refuse to do — they’re protecting land, water, and communities of Appalachia from corporations that believe their money gives them the right to pillage this land and pollute our water.
