Dominion is not only building a fracked gas export plant at Cove Point, MD, they also are seeking to build the "Atlantic Coast Pipeline" to transport some of that fracked gas. The pipeline would desecrate Native American burial grounds as well as promote more fracking. Shortly after 7 AM on the 23ed of February, over 50 activists blocked off access by car to Dominion Resources’ Tredegar Campus in Richmond, Virginia.

Youtube video-protesting Dominion

On the 13th of February, there were Global Divestiment Day actions in over 200 cities just on Turtle Island demanding that institutions divest from fossil fuel corporations. Here in DC, AU students and many others demanded that American University withdraw all of their investments from the fossil fuel industry. One speaker bluntly invoked the sucessful divestment campaign that forced South Africa to dump Apartheid. Another model, not mentioned at the protest would be the campaign against Huntingdon Life Sciences that made them too hot for almost all financial institutions to handle.
