A grassroots coalition in VA and WV dedicated to protecting water, land, and people from harms caused by extractive industries.

Protect Our Water, Heritage, Rights (POWHR) is an interstate coalition representing individuals and groups from Virginia and West Virginia dedicated to protecting water, land, and communities from harms caused by the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure, including the Mountain Valley Pipeline (MVP). 

We are part of a growing grassroots movement to stop fossil fuel expansion in Appalachia, including the MVP, and to kick-start the transition to a just and renewable future. We integrate the broader context of this pipeline fight into all our work, as part of a united fight to stop all new fossil fuel projects in the United States, combat environmental injustice, and meaningfully address the climate crisis.
