'This is a threat to our democracy,' joyem_braun of IENearth warns about Manchin and Schumer's permitting deal.
last month did not mention the MVP by name, the newspaper noted that"a person familiar with the matter said the permitting package would still help the pipeline, which has been mired in litigation and other delays, by expediting permitting and licensing under the Clean Water Act.
that a main message of Thursday's mobilization is that Manchin and Schumer's deal"is not flying and is not going to fly with frontline leaders, Indigenous communities, BIPOC communities, especially along the Mountain Valley Pipeline or any other extractive industry that threatens our communities and ties us into worsening and hastening climate catastrophe."
Hutchinson similarly stressed that"we do not believe that the permit side deal should be connected to the continuing resolution because the permit side deal should go through the full legislative process. This side deal was a deal between a select few and doesn't reflect the wider needs of our constituencies. It doesn't respect the work of environmental justice communities and, honestly, it undermines in many ways our democracy.
