Appalachians Against Pipelines has engaged in a persistent direct action campaign to stop the Mountain Valley Pipeline since 2018. The MVP is a 42-inch fracked gas pipeline that stretches from the shale fields of so-called “West Virginia” into central “Virginia” with a possible extension into “North Carolina.” The hazardous project will disrupt delicate ecosystems, harm communities, and increase international dependence on fossil fuels, pushing the planet further into climate chaos.

AAP was formed when pipeline fighters took to the trees in the so-called Jefferson National Forest in Monroe County, West Virginia, where Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC intended to drill directly through the mountain and beneath the Appalachian Trail. The limestone karst terrain of this mountain generates and filters drinking water, and also makes the area especially susceptible to landslides and sinkholes.

Or if you are coming in the next two weeks, please reach out to make sure folks have your intake form.****
