SUMMARY:Resist the Pipelines with Appalachian Voices
DESCRIPTION:Virginians have an opportunity to defeat the two proposed fracked-gas pipelines- the Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast pipelines – that would cut across our state\, through 900 miles through pristine forests\, farms\, and wetlands and cross (and potentially contaminate) thousands of headwater streams and rivers. Inter-state pipelines require approval at both the federal and state level. As Virginia residents\, we can engage in the state-level Clean Water Act certification process to discourage the VA Department of Environmental Quality from providing a permit to pipeline builders to destroy our Virginia waterways. Our window for voicing our concerns and recommendations at the state level is quickly closing. Appalachian Voices will present a brief overview of the proposed pipelines and detail direct actions we can take right now and in the coming month to make our opinions heard to the state. Come learn more about how we can defeat the pipeline on Wednesday July 26th at 6:30 pm at the Jefferson Room at the Central Library Charlottesville.

SUMMARY:Community Mapping Project Launch and Fundraiser Dinner
DESCRIPTION:Friends of Buckingham (FoB) and Concern for the New Generation [CNG] are holding a launch event at Union Hill Baptist Church for the door-to-door project to create a “community map” of the people who would be most impacted by the Buckingham ACP compressor station\, if built. \n2 PM: CNG will hold a community dinner fund-raiser in the church dining room downstairs. Note: this is not potluck. \nLocal residents of the Union Hill/ Woods Corner proposed compressor station neighborhood will lead teams with volunteers from Charlottesville in this effort. Even though the Board of Supervisors approved a compressor station special use permit\, there are still lots of things we can do together to protect people living here in Buckingham from toxic air emissions and destruction of places of historic importance and pride. \nWe need every neighboring household’s help! \nPlease come on Saturday to join this effort and open your door to teams working on your street.

SUMMARY:Cville Rising: Stop the Atlantic Coast Pipeline
DESCRIPTION:Cville Rising Event: January 14\, 2017 – Building the Resistance\, Stopping the Atlantic Coast Pipeline – Saturday January 14\, 2017\, 4:30-6:00 pm\, Charlottesville Friends Meeting House\, 1104 Forest St\, Charlottesville\, VA 22903.  Agenda will include speakers from local groups and directly impacted local counties. \nCville Rising says\, “The Atlantic Coast Pipeline is proposed to cut through the heart of our beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains here in Central Virginia\, not too far from C’ville. Join us\, to find out more and help us build a (peaceful) army to stop this thing…because nothing less is acceptable.  If Standing Rock has shown us one thing\, it’s that people power matters. We have to show up. Will you join us?  The biggest difference between the ACP and the DAPL\, is that construction hasn’t started yet. Dominion hope to start construction in the fall. We NEED to STOP them. We HAVE to STOP them…. \n“Because goodness knows\, we can’t depend on our politicians.  It’s down to us\, the people.  Join us to find out more and see how you can get involved.”

SUMMARY:Augusta County ACP Route Landowner Meeting
DESCRIPTION:If you are an Augusta County landowner with land in the footprint of the Atlantic Coast Pipeline or any access roads\, please join us this Thursday\, December 15\, 2016\, at 6:30 pm at the Augusta County Government Center. Come learn your rights as a landowner\, and how you can join together as a community to stand strong against the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. \nDespite what you might have heard\, this pipeline is not a done deal. You have rights as a landowner. We want to help you understand those rights. \nDominion does not have the right to an easement through your property UNLESS the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) grants it the power of eminent domain. That has not happened. Even if FERC ultimately grants Dominion the right of eminent domain (still far from certain)\, landowners have significant rights to protect their property and ensure that they are paid the true value of the highest and best use of their property. \nThere will be plenty of time for questions and answers. Part of the evening will be devoted to an exploration of how Augusta County landowners can organize and gather strength in numbers in a united effort to resist this pipeline. \nPlease note that this meeting is specifically focused on landowners. We appreciate the strong community involvement throughout our region\, and encourage non-landowners to focus their energy on other meetings that will continue to happen throughout the coming months. \nThis meeting is co-hosted by the Augusta County Alliance and Appalachian Mountain Advocates. Both are non-profit organizations which are focused on protecting this unique region. Neither group is seeking payment from anyone who attends this meeting.

SUMMARY:Buckingham County Board of Supervisors Meeting
DESCRIPTION:It is expected that the Buckingham County Planning Commission’s recommendation to the Buckingham County Board of Supervisors will be on the agenda at the December 12\, 2016\, Supervisors meeting. \nIf built\, the compressor station would have significant impacts on Buckingham\, which is known for its pristine environment and rural culture. The proposed site for this fracked gas propulsion station is in the middle of Union Hill\, a historic\, predominantly African American freedmen community. The compressor station would create a public safety hazard\, dramatically increase noise and air pollution\, lower property values\, and emit tons of greenhouse gases into an already overburdened atmosphere. \nAttend the meeting and let your presence help in the ongoing effort to prevent the Buckingham Board of Supervisors from approving the Atlantic Coast Pipeline compressor station. Buckingham residents need to know they have their neighbors’ support. \nContact lara@appvoices.org for more information.
