SUMMARY:Spruce Creek Camp/Gathering
DESCRIPTION:Spend the day or stay overnight at Spruce Creek Camp in Nelson County\, Virginia on land threatened by the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.\nThe biggest regional land-clearing project since the federal highway program of the 1960s is now underway in Virginia. In order to build the Atlantic Coast and Mountain Valley pipelines\, Dominion Energy and EQT are targeting vulnerable communities\, destroying precious ecosystems\, and threatening the livelihoods of Virginians far and wide. \nEnough is enough. Join us in Nelson County this October for a peaceful and family-friendly encampment on the property of the Averitt’s. The Atlantic Coast Pipeline is slated to go right through their property\, destroying beautiful Spruce Creek and cutting through the heart of Nelson County’s tourist attractions.  \n[su_note note_color=”#e5e6f7″]Mandatory sign up is required to schedule a time to visit for a day or camp for a few nights and learn about why this project is wrong for the people of Nelson\, and all of Virginia. The camp will be held the first 3 weekends in October\, from Friday mid-afternoon to Sunday late morning. \n[su_button url=”https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdfcf9s_Smc-gRzjPCdQVIDbOEYqHAO-gNzwmlAoWgUMaNcmw/viewform?usp=sf_link” target=”blank” size=”8″ wide=”no” center=”yes”]Click Here to Register For This Event[/su_button] \nSpace is limited.

SUMMARY:No Pipelines: Vigil for Archers Mill Grove
DESCRIPTION:What: No Pipelines: Vigil for Archers Mill Grove\nWhere: 2981 Archer’s Mill Rd\, Suffolk\, VA 23434\, United States\nWhen: Saturday\, October 6\, 3:00 – 6:00pm\nRSVP: Click HERE To RSVP on Facebook\, and invite all your friends! If you’re not on Facebook\, RSVP to climatealert@chesapeakeclimate.org\n \nThe Atlantic Coast Pipeline is slated to cut through a beautiful land called Archers Mill Grove\, a promising young sanctuary just outside of Suffolk. Virginia landowner Paulette Johnson has spent years nourishing this land from dry grass in 2007 to a beautiful\, biodiverse forest with an abundance of plant and animal life. And now\, large swaths of it could be destroyed by a pipeline we don’t need. \nJoin us on Saturday\, October 6 for a vigil and tour of the nature sanctuary threatened by the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Take part in a moment of solidarity and learn how to help Paulette fight back.  \nPaulette and her husband Clay are a retired Navy family who have chosen to settle down and remain in Virginia — mostly because of the trees. Paulette\, originally from North Dakota\, chose Virginia as her home because she fell in love with trees\, so much so that she planted 3\,500 of them beside her house!  \nSeven years later\, she faces condemnation of her land in order to construct the Atlantic Coast Pipeline straight through the middle of Archers Grove\, clearing eight to ten rows of trees and putting Paulette’s house in the incineration zone of the pipeline. This would be done in the name of supposed “public good.”  \nBut where is the good in a dangerous\, monstrous fracked-gas pipeline that would threaten the drinking water of millions of Virginians and could result in explosions just steps from Paulette’s home? When does a “public use” become eminent domain abuse? \nBut Paulette is not giving up. She has not accepted the easements for her property and is currently appealing her case to have a trial by jury.  \nNow\, it is critical that she receives statewide support so that all of our pipeline opponents know that we are all sticking together! Join us at Archers Mill Grove on Saturday\, October 6 at 3:00pm. \nThe public is invited to come and walk the path through the grove during this time and attend the vigil. The vigil will be held at 4:00 pm and there will be a special guest speaker.  \nWith the continuous support of people like you\, brave landowners like the Johnsons — and Bill and Lynn Limpert\, who held a protest camp on their property in Miracle Ridge — are empowered to keep fighting against the injustices wrought down by big utility corporations.

SUMMARY:Candlelight Vigil Against the ACP & MVP Pipelines
DESCRIPTION:This past week\, the Virginia Water Control Board voted to approve the permit for the dangerous and unneeded Mountain Valley Pipeline for fracked gas. We strongly condemn this decision\, and the McAuliffe Administration’s support for the pipeline. \nNext week\, the Virginia Water Control Board will hold another round of hearings\, this time on the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. We have one last shot to make our voices heard and stand up against fracked-gas pipelines in Virginia. \nOur legal challenges could be the final chance to stop these monstrous pipelines that threaten our climate\, water\, and most vulnerable communities. But Governor McAuliffe has the authority to stop these pipelines. We need to make him see the light. \nJoin us Monday\, December 11th at 6:30 pm for a candlelight vigil at the Governor’s Mansion. Come after work\, come when you can\, invite your friends! Show the Governor the moral light and urge him to reject these pipelines once and for all. \nWe’ll gather on Governor’s Street behind the mansion and make our way over together. If you have trouble finding the meeting point or have any questions\, call Jamshid Bakhtiari at 757-386-8107.
