A point of clarification- The workers at the mines need work, as do many of their un/under-employed brothers and sisters. They have a right to work that supports families does not threaten the surrounding communities or the global climate. This is also part of what Mountain Justice means.

It should be also noted that the activists who locked down on the super-dumpster on Kayford shut the site down for 5 hours. No blasting. No dragline scrapping up the coal. No workers allowed to work. We need more actions like this. Check out climategroundzero.org for how to join the exciting action campaign in West Virginia this summer.

Two of the activists were charged for “littering” because they floated a banner on a toxic sludge pond. LITTERING on a sludge pond? WTF? And they are still in jail with a $2000 cash bond.
