You don’t have to camp out to protect all our waters, land, and air. Georgians can sign a petition to Georgia state legislators. Anyone can demand their members of Congress rein in FERC, the rogue, captive agency that permitted Sabal Trail and gave it eminent domain to take local lands. If you see a possible environmental or legal violation, report it your self or contact WWALS. Lots more here.

According to
Gregory Payne,
Sabal Trail only recently put up those No Trespassing signs on their easement,
after Gregory moved in with a peaceful nonviolent encampment with permission from the landowner.
While trying to stop the pipeline,
the campers are making sure Sabal Trail does not block the landowner’s access.
This is not a WWALS event or activity, but it is happening in WWALS watersheds, so I went to report on it yesterday, Sunday October 16th 2016.
