Protect Our Water, Heritage, Rights (POWHR)

$10,000 to support a weekend of structured training for 70+ new and long-serving organizers and frontline community members mobilizing to stop the Mountain Valley Pipeline, which threatens the land, air, and water of communities along its entire 300-mile route in Appalachia, including crossing over nearly 1,000 streams and wetlands. The training was followed by a mass mobilization at the White House on June 8 uplifting youth and elder voices from Appalachia and Indigenous leaders resisting the Mountain Valley Pipeline Southgate extension.
