5th Annual End Mountaintop Removal Week

On Tuesday, March 9, nearly 200 citizens from Appalachia and across the U.S. will gather in our nation's capital as part of the 5th Annual End Mountaintop Removal Week in Washington.

While we're there, our citizen participants will attend meetings with members of Congress regarding the Clean Water Protection Act (H.R. 1310) in the House and the Appalachia Restoration Act (S. 696) in the Senate--bills that would severely curtail mountaintop removal coal extraction.

You can help! Tomorrow, Tuesday, March 9, we're having a call in day to show our support for the mountains, the people, and the waters of Appalachia. We'll be sending you an email with all the important details, please join us in making these important calls.

Also, if you or your group or organization could spread the word on email or Facebook, please let us know. We'll get you the tools you need to help promote this important day of action.

Mountaintop removal coal mining is one of the most egregious environmental and social justice disasters in America today--more than 500 mountains and 1.5 million acres of land have already been destroyed by this practice. Residents and supporters from across the U.S. are asking for an end to mountaintop removal and an investment in sustainable economic alternatives for Appalachia.

Can't wait to take action? Contact your Representative by email:
