  1. 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!"

  11. Chicago action in solidarity with Appalachians Against Pipelines

    "A Bank of America branch was locked and windows wheatepasted with flyers containing links to the bank’s abhorrent acts of cruelty. ... Block every path! No pipelines through Appalachia, or anywhere! Solidarity forever! Stop Cop City and Free Palestine!"

    Edit, IMPORTANT ADDITION:

    "Some of the flyers used in this action state "SHUT ELBIT DOWN!" This is due to Bank of America's documented financing of a $500 million dollar loan to Elbit Systems, an Israeli weapons manufacturer. ... One can easily imagine BOA as a supplemental target to BNY Mellon"

  12. #AppalachiansAgainstPipelines has engaged in a persistent #DirectAction campaign to stop the #MountainValleyPipeline since 2018. And they're asking for more observers and water protectors to come and support this vital work...

    MVP intended to drill directly beneath the Jefferson National Forest, #WestVirginia. The limestone karst terrain of this mountain collects and filters drinking water, and also makes the area especially susceptible to landslides and sinkholes.

    The Mountain Valley Pipeline is a 300 mile long fracked gas pipeline cutting across the mountains and waterways of Appalachia. For the past five years, Appalachians Against Pipelines (@stopthemvp) has waged a fierce direct action campaign against it with tree-sits, blockades and civil disobedience.
