SUMMARY:Friends of Nelson Public Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Sunday October 20\, 2019 – The Nelson Center\, gather at 5:30\, meeting begins at 6:00.  Ted Glick\, from Beyond Extreme Energy (BXE)\, will be our featured speaker\, and will show a short film followed by discussion.  We’ll also have announcements and updates.  This is a kid-friendly event\, and there will be an art station run by BXE’s Maple Osterbrink. \nJoin activists from Beyond Extreme Energy (BXE) on their FERC Into FREC roadshow! BXE is traveling from the shalefields of Pennsylvania down through the path of the MVP and ACP pipelines in West Virginia and Virginia. BXE members will screen their short film “FERC Doesn’t Work” and hold a community discussion on the fight to turn the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) into the Federal Renewable Energy Commission (FREC). FERC is the federal agency responsible for the regulation of all fossil fuel infrastructure and pipelines that cross state lines. As such FERC is a lynchpin in the nationwide movement against fossil fuels and for climate justice! \nTed Glick has been a progressive activist\, organizer and writer since 1968. He has prioritized the climate crisis issue since 2004 and was one of the founders of Beyond Extreme Energy in 2014. Following retirement after nine years as the National Campaign Coordinator for the Chesapeake Climate Action Network\, he has worked since as a volunteer with BXE and several local and state organizations in New Jersey fighting climate disruption and the expansion of new fossil fuel infrastructure. Since 2000 he has written a nationally-distributed Future Hope column of political\, social and cultural commentary. \nMaple Osterbrink has volunteered for peace\, justice and earth conservation since the 1960’s. She “took the earth-conservation pledge as a young girl scout and has held to it.” She retired from several “almost-careers” to North Carolina and is helping out many organizations including BXE\, APPPL\, Workers’ Assembly and the Raging Grannies. She worked to preserve wetlands in New Hampshire in the mid-90’s as a town conservation commissioner. She is “sick of the corruption\, theft and poisoning of democracy\, peace\, water\, food and sustainability.” As an artist she will have mini-projects to do with children\, or adults\, during events.

SUMMARY:Buckingham Planning Commission Meeting on Compressor Station SUP
DESCRIPTION:Show up – bear witness – At the meeting on Monday evening April 22 of the Buckingham Board of Supervisors to ask the Planning Commission to amend the Special Use Permit (SUP) for the compressor station communication tower to require that the infrastructure be served by broadband and that a last mile provider of broadband be found for businesses and residents along the pipeline. This will enhance safety and economic self-sufficiency in Buckingham\, and especially help those who are forced to accept the pipeline. \nBecause the original SUP was issued for only 18 months\, there is an opportunity to respond to new conditions – the change in state law concerning utility sale of broadband – since the pipeline has not yet been built. Citizens are asking that the Supervisors again approve the SUP for the usual 18 month term. Many things related to technology\, cybersecurity and other issues are changing quickly. Please do not close the door to asking ACP to include new technology or address new issues by making the SUP last more than 18 months.

SUMMARY:Cancelled - The Rights of Nature for the Community
DESCRIPTION:THIS MEETING HAS BEEN CANCELLED \nWednesday\, March 20\, 2019 at 7 PM – 9 PM\, Powhatan County Public Library\, 2270 Mann Rd\, Powhatan\, Virginia 23139. \nIf you are interested in protecting your county from environment harms\, come learn how we can work together to protect the Rights of Nature. We will have the opportunity to hear Ben Price\, from the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund (CELDF)\, share information about the concept of Community Bill of Rights (CBOR) for our local communities and how to protect the rights of nature. 200 municipalities nationwide have already passed CBORs and over 3 dozen communities have protected the rights of nature in their local communities. Check out the CELDF website for more information. (www.CELDF.org) \nThe Constitution of Virginia says it is our right to clean air and clean water. However\, our rights conflict with the state and federal laws. As a systemic problem\, the law is built around the needs of the monied corporations. The law is on their side. We are looking at legalized harm. \nActivists in this movement often view the environment as the next frontier in humanity’s expanding moral circle: over the centuries\, we’ve extended rights to more and more beings (e.g. slaves\, women)\, so why shouldn’t nature itself be next? \nThe Lake Erie Bill of Rights (LEBOR)\, an amendment to the city charter of Toledo\, has just been voted on and passed. It is the first rights-based legislation aimed at protecting a whole US ecosystem: the lake\, its tributaries\, and the many species connected to it\, including humans! \nENOUGH IS ENOUGH\, PRESERVE VA rejects the conventional Western way of relating to nature — as property that is there for the taking\, as an object rather than a subject. We recognize that we are going to have to work within the existing Western legal system\, like the LEBOR mentioned above\, if we want that to change. \nWe are betting that the best strategy for protecting the environment is to stretch our society’s understanding of what can have rights. If corporations have rights\, why not nature? It’s a bold bet\, but with climate change decimating the planet at such a ferocious rate\, it is the kind of innovative thinking we need. \nThe LEBOR isn’t without precedent! It’s part of the nascent worldwide Rights of Nature movement\, which has notched several victories in the past dozen years. The Rights of Nature have been included in the constitution of Ecuador. Rivers and parks have already won legal rights in countries like Colombia\, India\, and New Zealand. \nJoin us to learn more about how to bring this paradigm shift to your local community!
