Desiree Shelley of @MothersOutFront says environmental justice played a major role in the demise of the ACP, and is now at the forefront of the fight against the Mountain Valley Pipeline.

“You can draw a straight line from where Black folks gathered after emancipation to the redlining maps, to where you’re more likely to be poisoned because of zoning, & where people die earlier.” Dismantling racism requires action on environmental justice. https://t.co/CfFvnLjv5T
No energy source is sustainable if it is destroying the lives and homes of those who live near it's production. It's clear that people living in Eastern North Carolina are being sacrificed for the profits of the hog and gas industries. This isn't right and we need to do better.
At tonight's DEQ public hearing on biogas, NCEJN's Naemma Muhammad stood up for Eastern North Carolina residents against industry misinformaton on biogas. A few points she shared: [Thread]
Duke energy is planning to vastly expand gas powerplants and infrastructure in North Carolina over the next 20 years, our children's lives depend on us stopping them.
New gas-fired power plants aren't needed, and they would prevent power companies from making the needed switch to renewables.

At yesterday's meeting, Asheville City Council said its goodbyes to three outgoing members. In an abrupt move, Mayor Esther Manheimer also announced that Council would not discuss the creation of a $1 million reparations fund.https://t.co/iULu0oww4A
Foes of the Mountain Valley Pipeline “are implacable. ... They will challenge anything we do,” said the pipeline's attorney. Yes, we will, when most everything you do essentially cuts legal corners & trashes our water & wildlife resources. #noMVP https://t.co/W24nbT34CJ
4 long years of an administration that has denied the science around #ClimateChange & actively rolled back some 100 environmental regulations. The time for action is shrinking. We look forward to leaning into an aggressive climate agenda including a return to the #ParisAgreement

It's not a debate to believe or not believe in it is a scientific fact, our climate is rapidly heating due to human activity. One woman's deliberate attempt to remain ignorant could cost us precious time that we need to tackle the #ClimateEmergency
Good to see @DukeEnergy leaders acknowledging methane’s key role in driving the #climatecrisis. But slowing methane emissions does NOT justify Duke building 50 fracked-gas power plants. Scientists demand we close down fossil fuel plants, not build more!

Urge @NC_Governor to work with, or use his authority to require @DukeEnergy to stop building "natural" gas power plants. Thank him for recently denying the MVP water permit and for emphasizing that we don’t need more gas! https://t.co/v3AgnNs96L
