SUMMARY:Non-Violent Direct Action 101
DESCRIPTION:This strategy session led by members of No ACP will last about 2 hours\, followed by a Q&A discussion. Several interactive activities are included in the training. We’ll talk about roles in the resistance – both individual roles within organizations\, and community roles within statewide resistance. We’ll explore tactical escalation along a timeline of resistance. Other topics include spectrum of allyship; risk assessment; movement sustainability and messaging. We’ll do our best to answer questions about specific tactics and relationship of the ACP to the greater (inter)national fight against pipelines.  The presentation and discussion will thrive on active participation. Our design will assure an equal foundation for understanding direct action while the community input throughout will illuminate pathways to resistance and fill in strategic or tactical gaps through community-specific knowledge.  More info/material may be added to the agenda in the coming week so stay tuned!

SUMMARY:Virginia Supreme Court Hearings
DESCRIPTION:Hazel Palmer\, an 83 year old widow\, will stand up against the Atlantic Coast Pipeline\, LLC before the Virginia Supreme Court. In 2004 the General Assembly enacted special legislation for interstate gas transmission companies granting them the special power to enter private property to study the land for interstate pipelines without the individual owner’s permission and without the companies paying just compensation. \nOn the same docket\, and scheduled after Mrs. Palmer’s case\, Buckingham County landowners will have their appealed right-to-enter cases heard. In April\, a Buckingham County judge granted ACP surveyors the right to enter private property without giving landowners notice of the specific date of entry\, despite the fact that the pipeline builder has not been granted the right to eminent domain. \nCome to show your support for Mrs. Palmer and for the Buckingham County landowners. \nThe Virginia Supreme Court is across 9th Street from the Capitol building. \nYou must enter and be seated before 9 am!

SUMMARY:DEIS Comment Writing Workshop - Dillwyn
DESCRIPTION:Want to help but don’t know what to say or how to submit your comments? We can help. We need your comments. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement was released a while ago and virtually erased Buckingham from the map. The site of the proposed 54\,000 Hp highly toxic compressor station\, the only one in Virginia\, and approximately 25 miles of highly explosive pipeline through farmland and highly historic districts is deemed by FERC to have “no significant impact”. We know better and we must let FERC know! It is important for us to assure that the FERC record is complete and everyone’s concerns are documented. We have until April 6th to get in our comments and we must act fast.  On March 25th we are having a comment writing session to help guide people in making comments. It will be from 11AM to 4 PM at South Central Counseling Group office (near the Drugstore in Dillwyn and across from the Buckingham Branch railroad office). \nIf you can help and have a laptop please plan to bring it along. More info: call Chad at 434 969 3229 or 434 806 6332
