On September 27, thousands of Americans will march on the White House to demand an end to mountaintop removal coal mining, a practice that is poisoning the air, water, soil, culture and communities of Appalachia. Are you disgusted by coal corporations bombing America’s mountains into oblivion? March with us in D.C. on September 27 to end mountaintop removal mining. Sign up now.. Mountaintop removal is an atrocity that has destroyed over 500 mountains, buried thousands of miles of Appalachian streams and rivers, clear-cut over a million acres and harmed countless Appalachian lives. It’s time to abolish this horrible practice. Join us for Appalachia Rising.. Our friend Mickey McCoy of Inez, Kentucky summed it up perfectly. “I’d rather not travel to Washington DC. I’d rather not break the law in non-violent civil disobedience. Frankly, I’d like to work in the garden in my retirement…but when 300 million gallons of toxic coal sludge from a Massey Energy impoundment flooded Martin County, my home, I found myself in a fight for the life of my land and community. And with those stakes, you don’t have a choice. The time for action is now!” After attending Voices from the Mountains, a summit of Appalachians and their allies September 25 & 26, RAN will take to the D.C. streets to march on the White House and demand justice for Appalachia’s communities, culture and environment. Be there with us. March on the 27th knowing you helped give Appalachia a fighting chance to survive and thrive for generations to come.
