POWHR is people showing up for one another against great odds.  Proud to be a volunteer. 

**Help POWHR Stop the MVP Boost and strengthen our movement in 2026!**

In 2026 we will continue to link arms with fenceline communities and organizers to grow the movement opposing gas infrastructure. 

We are organizing opposition to the proposed MVP Boost project, which would expand capacity at three existing MVP compressor stations in West Virginia and add a mega-sized Swann compressor station in Eastern Montgomery County, Virginia. This expansion would ramp up climate wrecking deliveries of methane gas on the mainline MVP by 30%.

We support the Holler to Holler Mutual Aid collective by providing a mini-warehouse and community meeting space that allows for weekly donations of supplies for our people still recovering from devastating flooding exacerbated by climate change. Having a sustainable long term presence will help us stay prepared for future disasters and build community through solidarity.

Give **$25** toward growing our movement in Southwest Virginia and Southern West Virginia!

Give **$50** toward stopping the MVP Boost project / Swann Compressor Station!

Give **$250** toward sustaining the Holler to Holler mutual aid hub!

Give **$500** toward general operating support for POWHR’s mission!

Give **$1,000** toward supporting all of the above in 2026!

POWHR's 2025 Year End Fundraiser!

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.
