The No MVP/No MVP Southgate Water Walk was a true gathering. Skillful and welcoming Indigenous leadership brought together environmental protectors across race, tribe, gender, faith, state and national borders to oppose these pipelines.
The Regional VA Southside and NC Piedmont Team formed in the summer of 2020 with the purpose of protecting their lands and waterways from an extractive fossil fuel development project called the Mountain Valley Pipeline and Southgate Extension.
