On July 5, 2020, community opposition led Dominion Energy and Duke Energy to announce that they were canceling plans to build the 600-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline. West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina residents united across state lines to put an end to this fracked gas by holding marches, attending public meetings, monitoring construction, and more.

The six-year fight against the Atlantic Coast Pipeline was a very uphill battle. Dominion Energy and Duke Energy, two of the largest monopoly utilities in the country, claimed the project was inevitable. This hard-fought victory was due to the tireless work of community members, activists, and organizations who stood shoulder to shoulder to protect their land, water, air, and communities.

Join us in celebrating the five-year anniversary of shutting down the ACP by sharing our suggested social media posts and graphics!
