Join us for a mass demonstration against the Vermont Gas Pipeline, the state's largest fossil fuel infrastructure expansion in 50 years. Together we will protest not only this pipeline, but other projects across the region that threaten our climate and put communities at risk.

A year ago, over 500 people rallied in Montpelier demanding a stop to the fracked gas pipeline, and 64 were arrested in an occupation of the Governor's office. A year has passed, and still the pipeline project is in limbo! Now the Governor's staff has attempted a back-room deal with VT Gas, so we're rising up to shut them down. Rise up against more fossil fuel dependence,rise up to help curb climate chaos!

Get ready for a massive confrontation with the powers protecting corporations over people. Bring your friends, a picnic, warm clothes, and your indomitable spirit !

When: SATURDAY OCTOBER 24th, 11 am - ?
Where: State house Lawn, Montpelier VT
What: Vermonters will gather to take united action for climate justice.
