Call to Conscience: Stop the Cliffside coal power plant

I’m in Charlotte, North Carolina this evening, where hundreds of organizers and activists from over 20(!) states have gathered for a major act of civil disobedience in opposition to Duke Energy’s Cliffside coal power plant. We have a crew of 10 from the Ohio Student Environmental Coalition here, taking notes to see what we can take back home with us.

The action starts at 10AM sharp tomorrow. Check back for updates and check Russ Anderson’s blog entry from earlier today for more info and background.
