North Ave., Baltimore 21201.  Come learn about the current pipeline being built only 5 hours away in the West Virginia/Virginia portion of the Jefferson Forest. There has been a sustained strong resistance to the pipeline from locals, which needs support on the ground as well as in cities where pressure can be placed on banks and businesses. The land the mountain valley pipeline runs through is occupied Monoken, Tupelo, Shawnee, and Cherokee land. It is currently the so-called Jefferson National Forest. 

  The Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) project is a natural gas pipeline system that spans approximately 303 miles from northwestern West Virginia to southern Virginia – and as an interstate pipeline will be regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). The MVP will be constructed and owned by Mountain Valley Pipeline, LLC (Mountain Valley), which is a joint venture between EQT Midstream Partners, LP; NextEra US Gas Assets, LLC; Con Edison Transmission, Inc.; WGL Midstream; and RGC Midstream, LLC. EQT Midstream Partners will operate the pipeline and own a significant interest in the joint venture. The gas comes from fracking. A vast supply of natural gas found in Marcellus and Utica shales.  Go to http://form.jotform.com/81488608084163. https://www.facebook.com/events/209936582958433/.
