Climate Justice Champion: Princess Blanding
We must divest from fossil fuels and the predatory capitalism that enables pipelines and ecological devastation. We must support the Land Back cause for the Indigenous nations of our Commonwealth, ceding stewardship of the land to native peoples. We must invest in green technology advancement and begin working towards a cleaner and more sustainable way of life. We must invest in our local communities, protect our most at risk of ecological repercussions from climate change, and prepare for the future of the people of our state, a future that does not include the Mountain Valley Pipeline or its ilk.
-Princess Blanding
Four features distinguish People Power Virginia from other PACs:
- A strong focus on environmental justice and the intersection of racial, gender, and economic justice during our climate emergency;
- Reliance on funding from individual donors across a broad economic spectrum who will be invited to participate in governance and other PAC activities;
- Opposition to legislative attempts to increase penalties for civil disobedience in resisting new fossil-fuel infrastructure;
- Readiness to support new and bold candidates in both primaries and general elections, regardless of the district’s historical voting patterns.
