Grannies wore red to support our allies at PHMSA meeting in Des Moines

Grannies traveled to Des Moines on Wednesday, May 31, 2023, to participate in a non-violent protest with our allies to show support for a moratorium on dangerous CO2 pipelines threatening Iowa.  Showing support included wearing red instead of our traditional green.  That day, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) was meeting in Des Moines.  PHMSA is responsible for creating safety regulations for CO2 pipelines and is on record as saying they don’t know enough about these pipelines.  We advocate for a moratorium on CO2 pipelines until federal safety regulations are created and we need PHMSA to use their platform to push for a moratorium.
