‘ON THE GROUND’ SHOW FOR SEPTEMBER 9, 2022: Voices from Appalachian Resistance Rally… Against Manchin’s ‘Dirty Deal’ for the Mountain Valley Pipeline… And Against Attacks on Environmental Protections… 

Hundreds of environmental and climate justice advocates rally on Capitol Hill to oppose a deal secured by Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia to complete the controversial Mountain Valley Pipeline.The deal, to transport fracked natural gas 300 miles in Virginia, West Virginia and across the Appalachian trail, was reportedly secured in exchange for Manchin's support for the Inflation Reduction Act, which was passed and signed into law last month. This side deal adds insult to injury to climate activists, already angered that the Act offers only small fraction of what experts say is needed to address the climate catastrophe.   The show is made possible only by our volunteer energy, our resolve to keep the people's voices on the air, and by support from our listeners.
