Today, Marylanders are turning up the volume on Cove Point!
Dozens of activists are visiting each of Senator Mikulski and Senator Cardin’s district offices across the state to call on them to demand a thorough and comprehensive federal “Environmental Impact Statement” (EIS) for Dominion’s $3.8 billion fracked gas export plan.
From Cumberland to Salisbury, activists are making sure our senators know what’s at stake for every Marylander — and why we deserve to get all the facts on the table.
Check back here later today for photos from each action.

Today’s actions are in response to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)’s release last week of a draft “Environmental Assessment” for Cove Point. Community, environmental, health and student leaders across Maryland have criticized the draft federal review for failing to address many serious potential consequences of the project, from worsening climate change to expanded fracking and pipelines to potential explosions threatening nearby homes in Calvert County.
