- Manchin’s Dirty Deal Talking Points: Opposing Manchin’s Fossil Fuel Giveaways
- Detailed Event Information Webpage
Talking points:
- Senator Manchin’s dirty deal would fast track dangerous fossil fuel projects that threaten our climate and communities.
- Under the plan backed by Manchin and fossil fuel CEOs, big polluting oil and gas companies could force through dirty, dangerous fossil fuel projects in any neighborhood and community where they want to build them, cutting the voice of the public out of the process.
- This plan would attempt to rubber stamp the Mountain Valley Pipeline – a dirty project that neighboring communities have said they don’t want and have been fighting for years.
- We can’t let the fossil fuel industry build whatever polluting project they want, wherever they want. The public has to be able to have a say – especially the frontline, low-income and BIPOC communities that have far too often been targeted for these projects.
- There are better ways to safely reform our infrastructure approval process than this dirty deal that guts bedrock environmental protections, cuts out the voice of the public, endangers public health, and fast tracks more dangerous fossil fuel projects.
- This dirty deal will directly undercut President Biden’s climate agenda and the positive impacts of the Inflation Reduction Act by fast tracking more climate polluting fossil fuel projects.
- We already paid an incredibly high price with the fossil fuel handouts in the Inflation Reduction Act – from mandates for new leasing to credits for false solutions – and we're not going to allow our communities to keep being sacrificed when Manchin’s dirty deal comes out in September.
- We’re calling on Congress to stop this dirty deal and protect our communities, our voices, and our climate.

Subject: Join the frontline resistance in DC! Stop MVP!
Body:
Friend,
Frontline communities are being used as bargaining chips in Senators Manchin and Schumer's side deal aimed at fast-tracking permits for fossil fuel projects and threatening bedrock environmental laws. This is unacceptable. But let it be known, the resistance is organized and bringing the fight to DC.
If passed, this would gut bedrock environmental protections, threaten tribal authority, endanger public health, cut public input, fast-track fossil fuel projects, and push approval for Manchin’s pet project, the Mountain Valley Pipeline. We can’t allow our communities to be sacrificed again to more oil and gas drilling, pipelines, petrochemical buildout and climate disasters! Join us on Sept 8th by making our voices clear: 'We are not your sacrifice zones! #StopMVP and Manchin’s Dirty Deal!'.
