Activists deserve our gratitude for standing up for all of us. What’s *really* criminal is the FF industry building a pipeline, opposed by vast swaths of the local population, that will harm people everywhere with its CO2 contributions to global warming.

#climatechange #mountainvalleypipeline

Tactics similar to what are being used against Greenpeace in SD are being used against activists who opposed the #MountainValleyPipeline which Biden pushed through. They face serious criminal charges in VA.

#MountainValleyPipeline is changing its Southgate extension plan w/ a new route & increased pipe diameter. W/ so many changes, #MVP should have to go thru new certification w/ FERC.

Is @citi @Citibank proud of its record financing this controversial pipeline project?

Rights violations, legal intimidation, jailing peaceful activists, siding with corrupt politicians?
