Appalachians Against Pipelines
Mass direct actions shutting down construction of the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP) at two locations. People have swarmed both sites, and a total of four people locked-down to construction equipment. Five were arrested.

This action was done in solidarity with the people of Gaza. MVP would supply gas to the Pentagon and the Radford Army Ammunition Plant, which is operated by BAE Systems – a corporation that supplies Israel with white phosphorus & other weapons.
The five people arrested were released from jail.
