After 6.5 hours blockading Mountain Valley Pipeline work on Poor Mountain, Ted and Jane were extracted from their possum blockade and arrested. They were each charged with 3 misdemeanors and had bail set at $3,000.

Thank you for taking action today, Ted and Jane!! Every delay counts. The Mountain Valley Pipeline is nearly 6 years behind schedule and more than $4 billion over budget.
