Our lives are desperately dependent on fossil fuels. That’s how the system works. That’s how the system was built. And that’s how the system fails us. It’s time to get fossil fuel filth out of Washington DC — and our lives — for good.
Extinction Rebellion DC is launching a campaign to stop Washington Gas — the only company in the city that pipes toxic methane gas into your home — from spending $5 billion on more gas infrastructure.
If Washington Gas gets its way, then DC will lock in planet-heating fossil fuel pollution for decades to come. Its methane pipes will continue to poison DC residents, exposing our children to a cocktail of toxins that cause severe illness and early death.
Join us on Friday, April 22, as we begin a massive, sustained campaign of civil resistance to get fossil fuel filth out of DC — for good! We will kick off the day with an Earth Day Rally at 7:30 am at Franklin Park, 1332 I st NW.
