SUMMARY:Water Quality Monitor Training
DESCRIPTION:Applications Now Open\nBecome a Water Quality Monitor!\n \nMonitoring water quality is one of the most important and meaningful ways to combat pipelines in Virginia. \nProtect your national forests from pipelines and fracking by becoming a citizen science water quality monitor \nWild Virginia is hosting a one-day training on September 16 for volunteers to learn how to properly conduct water quality monitoring on streams in Virginia. Trout Unlimited will teach you how to conduct chemical monitoring on water samples\, measure stream flow\, test water temperatures and turbidity and conduct visual assessments. \nWe need monitoring help in Highland and Bath counties in the Upper Back Creek and Upper Jackson River as well as the Cowpasture River watershed. These are priority watersheds that could be negatively impacted by pipelines. \nBy becoming a water quality monitor\, you can help combat pipelines and protect our forests and drinking water. \nNo prior experience necessary\, but a serious commitment to ongoing monitoring once per month is expected. \nWild Virginia has teamed up with WV Rivers Coalition and Trout Unlimited to implement this Water Quality Monitoring Project. We work together to train and equip volunteers to monitor cold water streams in areas with the potential to experience impacts from shale gas development.

SUMMARY:People's Pipeline Protest - Lunchtime Rally and Press Conference
DESCRIPTION:Join the People’s Pipeline Protest\, September 13-14\, 2017\, organized by Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN). \nTwo days of spirited\, creative protests at seven key Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) offices statewide to stop two fracked-gas pipelines. Help CCAN say NO at locations in Virginia Beach\, Roanoke\, Harrisonburg\, Richmond\, Abingdon\, Glen Allen\, or Woodbridge. \nThursday\, September 14th –Lunchtime rally and press conference at noon at all DEQ offices.  In a culminating appeal\, local citizens will attend lunchtime rallies on the public sidewalks outside the DEQ offices in Virginia Beach\, Roanoke\, Harrisonburg\, Richmond\, Abingdon\, Glen Allen\, or Woodbridge. Our top message: “Governor\, we’ve been asking you for three years to do the right thing and reject these pipelines. Now we ask you to deeply reflect on your responsibility to protect human life and the environment\, BEFORE deciding to harm our state and your legacy forever.” We expect scores of participants at each protest with key local leaders speaking to the issues. We’ll have banners and signs and invite local media. We’ll have a giant cardboard clock showing that time is running out. \nThis will likely be your best and perhaps last chance to exercise your freedom of speech in this most powerful way BEFORE any final state decisions are made. \nMore information\, including background information on why we need to do this (do you know about the PH3 trio?). \nLocations of the seven DEQ offices around Virginia.

SUMMARY:Journey the James River Flotilla

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:Fighting the Pipeline: A Presentation by Appalachian Voices
DESCRIPTION:Appalachian Voices works at the nexus of America’s ongoing shift from dirty energy to solar\, wind and other 21st-century energy sources. We defend our region from mountaintop removal coal mining\, fracked-gas pipeline building\, and other harmful practices while promoting clean energy sources that generate local jobs and community wealth and that sustain Appalachia’s incomparable natural heritage. \nAppalachian Voices would like to invite you to learn more about how you can help defeat two proposed fracked-gas pipelines through civil engagement. The Mountain Valley and Atlantic Coast pipelines would cut through a combined 900 miles through pristine forests\, farms\, and wetlands and cross (and potentially contaminate) thousands of headwater streams and rivers.  \nAs Virginia residents\, we have an opportunity this summer to 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. Join us in learning about and fighting the pipelines\, and together we can protect our local environment and communities.

SUMMARY:Walking The Line: C'ville Celebration & Next Steps
DESCRIPTION:Walking The Line: C’ville Celebration & Next Steps\n \nWe walked into the beating heart of Virginia\, along the roads\, across the rivers & streams\, through the fields & forests\, up and over the mountains… \nwe had a deeply impactful time\, while sowing seeds of connection & community to protect our land\, water and air\, to send out a message far and wide…that a 42″ fracked gas pipeline has no business here…nor anywhere. \nHowever\, our work isn’t done. The resistance is far from over. Let’s not lose any of the momentum or magic that we created out on…’the Line.’ \nCome on out\, as we gather to share our walk stories\, connect some more\, give thanks to everyone involved\, and lay down plans going forward to continue to stand strong in protection of that which we hold dear. \nFirefly is a wonderful family friendly restaurant\, full of games and good times\, great local food and drink! It’s also a welcoming venue for activism and community causes of all kinds! \nWalking the Line
