Over the summer, Don't Touch My Podcast says, "Don't Touch my Politics" as we sit down with political candidates running for the Worcester City Council and School Committee seats. In this episode, we sit down with City Councilor Candidate, Feanna Jattan-Singh. More about Feanna: Feanna Jattan-Singh, is originally from North Carolina, with roots from Trinidad and Tobago, India, and Africa. She settled in the north when she attended Johnson & Wales University for International Business. After College, Feanna started a health and beauty business, and moved to MA when she got married. She moved to Worcester with her husband and family back in 2010. Since 2014 she has worked as a Substitute Teacher at Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public Elementary School. In 2017, Feanna got her Real Estate License and started her career in helping buyers buy their first home. Since then, she has expanded into helping both buyers, sellers, as well as renters to find housing. Feanna is also a member of the Kiwanis Club of Worcester where they do many projects to help the children of Worcester. One of those projects is giving gifts to the children of both Wawecus school and Union Hill Elementary school each year. This year Worcester Kiwanis also started a book program where we gave books to the students at Union Hill school. Aside from that, Feanna is also a member of the Board of Touchstone Community School where her 2 youngest children attend. She also volunteers at Liberty Church in Shrewsbury, MA in the Nursery, most Sunday mornings.  Recently, she went on a trip to Kenya where the team did Leadership training for community leaders, gave out gifts to many students at seven different schools, and attended the first graduation ceremony for the Focus Dream Center Vocational and Technical College. Feanna decided to run for city council district 3 for Worcester, due to a lack of response from the current district 3 Councilor after advocating for a sidewalk for Sunderland Road for over 10 years. She is also trying to get the city to do something about the lack of accountability with the buses being so ineffective. Feanna is also advocating for more affordable housing in the city. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donttouchmypodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/donttouchmypodcast/support

Virginia's General Assembly has passed a bill to study the effects of gold mining, after concerns about a proposal in Buckingham County’s Union Hill; Governor Ralph Northam is joining calls for an investigation into the state's parole board; a new pedestrian traffic signal goes up in the West End; and other local news stories.

Paul Wilson is the pastor of the Union Grove Missionary Baptist Church in Union Hill, Virginia a small, historically Black community. When he found out that Dominion Energy and Duke Energy wanted to build a compressor station for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline in the middle of his community, it felt all too familiar. After organizing around protecting their community's health from air and well water pollution from the station, Union Hill residents won their legal battle against the pipeline, leading to its cancellation in July 2020.

After years in the works, the Atlantic Coast Pipeline - a celebrated, bipartisan project - was abruptly canceled. Was this an overnight change of heart? Or were there other powers at work? And what's this about the Mountain Valley Pipeline? Join us for the thrilling conclusion of this two-part series as Delegate Sam Rasoul and Union Hill resident Richard Walker share their stories. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thejusticereport/message

Cassie Hagen brings us a story about efforts in the Union Hill neighborhood of Richmond, VA, to promote equitable and sustainable energy in the region. The community has been combatting plans by Duke and Dominion Energy to build a Compressor Station in Union Hill, part of the controversial Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Cassie interviews Harrison Wallace, Virginia Director of Chesapeake Climate Action Network.

Good morning, RVA! It’s 29 °F, and it looks like yesterday’s rain has moved on out leaving us with highs near 50 °F and lots of sunshine. Careful outside early this morning as there may be a thin sheet of slippery frost on everything (he says with first-hand experience nearly tumbling down his back stairs).Water coolerThe General Assembly’s 2020 session kicks off today! What should you expect? Well, yesterday, the Governor and a bunch of the various legislative leaders announced the pretty solid, yet flaccidly-named Virginia 2020 Plan, highlighting 11 priorities they want to tackle over the next 60 days. I’ll just list all 11 points for you here: Pass the Equal Rights Amendment, restore women’s reproductive rights, expand affordable housing, ban discrimination in housing and employment, raise the minimum wage, make voting easier, reform criminal justice, advance common-sense gun safety measures, fight climate change and protect natural resources, increase education funding, and expand transit and broadband. Hey! That’s a pretty good list and even mentions transit! The gov will deliver his State of the Commonwealth address tonight at 7:00 PM, and I am sure he will dig into each of these a bit further. For folks who want to know how to get involved but are, justifiably, intimidated by the whole process, Del. Cia Price from Newport News has an excellent GA primer thread on Twitter.The city announced that their new eviction diversion program “has diverted 76 evictions and is on track to meet its goal to divert 300–500 evictions in its first year.” For some context, according to the NYT piece about Richmond’s nation-leading eviction rate, the City saw 5,803 eviction judgments in 2016. So we’re making big progress, for sure, but there’s still a lot of big work left to do.Someone spray painted the factual statement “THIS IS RACIST” on the Jefferson Davis monument. VPM’s Roberto Roldan rolled by and got a picture. This is obviously the first monument that needs to come down, but it’s also, practically, the most complicated to repurpose (assuming we’re not just razing the thing). You gotta dump the statue, of course, but there’s also stuff etched into the the large column and some text that’s surely problematic written across the colonnade.Trevor Dickerson at RVAHub has the official opening date for the Whole Foods on Broad: January 30th! It’s been a long time coming, and I’m excited to see how that intersection is activated when the store opens. As much as I want a Pulse station at the Lombardy Street Kroger, it’ll be nice to have a grocery store in that part of town adjacent to a frequent bus.Exceedingly rich White dude and presidential candidate Mike Bloomberg was in town yesterday meeting with Mayor Stoney. People had strong feelings about this, and some of the twitteratti dragged the Mayor for even meeting with a guy who’s used his vast wealth to basically buy his way into the presidential primary process. But, idk! Bloomberg has a ton of cash and gives a ton of it away to issues related to cities—like, for example, the Bloomberg Philanthropies Mayors Challenge from a couple years back and a bunch of gun safety groups including Everytown for Gun Safety. Would I rather see pics of Mayor Stoney grabbing coffee with Elizabeth Warren? Yeah, duh, obviously. But, if it were me, I’d take the meeting and spend the most amount of time possible talking about how Richmond has big needs that could interest philanthropic folks on a national level. The RTD’s Justin Mattingly has the details on Bloomberg’s press conference held later that day.Sarah Vogelsong at the Virginia Mercury says a federal court has rescinded a necessary permit from the Atlantic Coast Pipeline and asked the State Air Pollution Control Board to “reconsider the case.” The issue at hand was the decision to locate a compressor station in the historically Black community of Union Hill and the disparate environmental impact the compressor would have on that nearby community. This quote from the court’s opinion is pretty stellar, “Environmental justice is not merely a box to be checked, and the board’s failure to consider the disproportionate impact on those closest to the compressor station resulted in a flawed analysis.”Reminder! Tonight, City Council will host their first in a handful of public hearings on the proposed North of Broad Development aka NoBro aka Navy Hill. Head on over to Binford Middle School (1701 Floyd Avenue) at 6:00 PM and let your thoughts, feelings, and emotions out and straight onto the public record. This meeting does show up on Legistar (the incredibly nerdy but surpassingly useful City meeting and document website), so we may get streaming audio from tonight’s event. Tune in here if it exists and if that’s your jam.This morning’s longreadA Black kingdom in postbellum AppalachiaA fascinating bit of regional history that made a me think about what pieces of our past, here in Richmond, are slowly slipping away, nearly forgotten by everyone.As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to recognize that many white people, those raised in the region and not, are reproducing a singular history of white settler place-making in Southern Appalachia. To indulge in an illusion of a homogeneous white geography has harmful consequences. Namely, it erases the histories of Native and Black and brown people who live in the mountains of Western North Carolina and beyond. When white people overlook the past and present of Appalachia’s diverse communities, we facilitate the rapid displacement of Native, Black, and brown peoples to make way for more economies of pleasure based on white settler visions of mountain leisure. In other words, if we cannot imagine Native and Black and brown people living in the Appalachian Mountains, it is because we have ignored their histories and their present-day lives, and thus we aid the foreclosure of their futures here. In Western North Carolina, Black community organizers and scholars work hard to preserve Black Appalachian histories to create Black Appalachian futures. One of those histories was hidden in my own community—The Kingdom of the Happy Land.If you’d like your longread to show up here, go chip in a couple bucks on the ol’ Patreon.

What happens when a powerful utility company decides to sink its teeth into a small Black community in Virginia? In the first episode of our series on Dominion Power's land grabs, we look at the moves Governor Northam did and didn't make to stop one of his largest corporate donors from building an interstate gas pipeline through Virginia and a toxic compressor station in the town of Union Hill. We hear from Union Hill native, Richard Walker, as well as Dr. Mary Finley-Brook, a professor of geography at the University of Richmond, and Whitney Whiting, host of End of the Line, a podcast all about the Atlantic Coast Pipeline.

He explores the transformation the school underwent, starting in 2010 when the school was designated as Level 1 and ending four years later after it improved in status. The school has maintained this success ever since. Ben spoke with Mullen Sawyer, executive director of Oak Hill Community Development Corporation, which invested in the Union Hill School as well as Marie Morse and Kareem Tatum, who came on as Principal and Assistant Principal respectively at Union Hill to spearhead the turnaround.

Across the nation, natural gas production has been ramping up. In many communities, this has meant new pipelines, new promises, and new protests. How do we balance environmental concerns and the public good? Environmental engineer Andres Clarens (University of Virginia)explains the science. Jaime Allison (Christopher Newport University) argues that we can better understand pipelines by looking back to the early days of railroads. Economist Sarah Stafford (College of William and Mary) argues that pipelines require people to weigh environmental costs and economic benefits, and the results aren’t always what you’d expect. Sociologist Travis Williams (Virginia Commonwealth University) takes us to Union Hill, a historically African American community in Buckingham County, Virginia, where a natural gas compressor station is being planned.

Ruby and John Laury live in Buckingham County, Virginia, in Union Hill—a predominantly African-American community where Dominion Energy plans to build a compressor station as part of the proposed Atlantic Coast Pipeline. The station would use gas-fired turbines to pump gas through the system. The proposed pipeline would have only three compressor stations—one at each and, and one in the middle, where Ruby and John live. Here, they talk about why they think their community was chosen for this station, and what that means to them. The Land I Trust is a brand new audio storytelling project brought to you by the Sierra Club. In this series, we travel through the American South to talk with folks about the dirty energy projects that threaten their homes and the work they're doing to build a clean energy economy that allows all of our communities to thrive. Hear all of the first-person stories from The Land I Trust at http://www.sc.org/stories.

Original Air Date: 8/18/17 What is the human cost of the heart of a pipeline? In Union Hill neighborhood of Buckingham county, a plot of land is proposed as the site of a compressor station for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline. Compressor stations are the heart of the pipeline, pressurizing gas to be pumped across hundreds of miles. A compressor station is the lynchpin of a pipeline, as well as the most dangerous piece of infrastructure. Union Hill neighborhood, where the station is proposed to be built, is a predominantly African-American neighborhood founded by slaves freed after the Civil War. How does the history of this neighborhood coincide with the construction of a large, noisy, dirty and dangerous compressor station? How have the people most affected by its construction responded? Have elected officials or corporate decision makers heard their voices? In the midst of turmoil surrounding historic erasure in the south, this episode tells the unique and troubling story of land, ownership and theft in the neighborhood of Union Hill, Buckingham County, Virginia.
