Elliston, Virginia – Barbies stopped work on the Mountain Valley Pipeline! On Monday, July 24, around 20 demonstrators, many wearing bright pink and holding banners that read, “No Patriarchy, No Pipelines” and “Even Barbies Hate Pipelines” walked onto a work site beside Cove Hollow Road and Highway 460 in Elliston, VA.
The protest continued today. Lisa Finn, a member of Tuesday’s group, stated: “We are so glad to be helping support frontline folks resisting the Mountain Valley Pipeline! Their fight is our fight! As a member of Third Act, we are focused on stopping new fossil fuel projects and it was so empowering to stop construction on the MVP.”
Today’s disruption is the second work stoppage in three days, and the fourth action since MVP resumed construction activities this July. No matter what the supreme court or any politicians decide, this fracked gas pipeline won’t be completed without a fight.
Bye Barbie! See you next time!
