Rally Opposing the MVP

March 21, 2015 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

The Sierra Club along with numerous local organizations will hold an anti-pipeline rally in downtown Blacksburg. The pipeline route is still in flux and there is no telling where it might go, or if we have any chance of stopping it.

Please join us and bring as many friends and neighbors as possible!

The rally will be on Henderson Lawn at Noon and feature various speakers and live music.

Please bring banners and signs to join in the protest!
