I spent the past weekend with around 100 young people and community activists at the Weekend In Wise - an incredible weekend in Appalachia, VA where Mountain Top Removal (MTR) mining has deeply impacted the community and citizens have been fighting Dominion’s proposed Wise County Coal Plant. Local community activists led tours of MTR sites and a local plant that burns that coal. A service project and Sustainable Living workshop were led on a local organic farm. Discussions and workshops were held to strategize and plan for overcoming King Coal’s reign.
And you can TAKE ACTION as well to protect this mountain! The Coal River Wind Project is holding a rally today demand that WV Gov. Joe Manchin support WIND and not MTR!...
