Activist Alert: Death of Democracy. March Protesting Pipeline Eminent Domain

In the last year, opposition to eminent domain has turned more vocal and more public. Opponents have:

• Hosted concerts & parades with world renowned musicians (featured Texans)
• Shut down public meetings with overflowing crowds (occurred in Texas)
• Consistently encourages city councils and county commissioners to vote in favor of land owners and against private entities using eminent domain (occurred in Texas)

This week we have “”Death of Democracy” march in Virginia. Death of democracy occurred because:

• A private company, a pipeline, has the power of eminent domain
• A private company, a pipeline, can survey private property without express consent
