Mi’kmaq grandmothers will visit DC on June 20 all the way from Nova Scotia! Come hear their stories of protecting sacred indigenous land from the false claims and reckless pipeline plans of Washington Gas’s parent company AltaGas in Canada. Free event. 

AltaGas – the controversial parent company of Washington Gas – is increasingly referred to as “one of the worst fossil fuel companies in North America.”

But don’t take our word for it. Join XRDC, CCAN, and others, on June 20 at Foundry United Methodist Church in D.C. for an in-person evening with indigenous Mi’kmaq grandmothers from Nova Scotia.

For nearly ten years, these heroic leaders fought – and won – a bruising pipeline fight against another subsidiary of AltaGas called Alton Gas. Along the way, they encountered the kind of false claims, greed, and fossil fuel expansion efforts that Washington Gas now shows almost daily across DC, Maryland and Northern Virginia.
