Power Past Coal: Join the Movement! « It’s Getting Hot In Here

Coal is dirty. From mining, to waste disposal, to global warming. From New Mexico to New New England, to Appalachia — from rural to inner-city–folks are working to fight coal injustice and build new power for clean energy. But our work is only beginning, and we need your help.

I’m completely fired up about this new landmark effort to Power Past Coal. From January 21st until April 30th dozens of groups around the country and joining together to have 100 Days of Action in 100 Days to Power Past Coal! Crazy? Probably. Necessary? Yes. But, we need folks like you to let us know about events in your community working for clean energy and working to Power Past Coal if it’s going to be a success.

Be part of the Power Past Coal movement! Please add your events which expose the true cost of coal and work for clean energy solutions to the website today! Spread the news and stories of dirty coal far and wide. Plan and register an action. Recruit your friends. Stand in solidarity with the people who have been fighting coal for too long. And join us as we set the course for our nation’s energy future. Take action. Tell your story. Join the movement.
