This Saturday over 150 people will travel from across the country to Washington DC for the 7th Annual End Mountaintop Removal Week in Washington. Together they will blanket DC with one clear message: Stop Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining in Appalachia.
For years we’ve lobbied Congress. This year, we’re raising our voices a little louder. But we won’t be successful without YOUR help.
Mark your calendar for one week from today and join thousands on June 6th, and demand an end to mountaintop removal coal mining.
??You don’t have to travel to DC to take a stand against one of the most serious human rights violations happening in our country today. ??Next week, support our mountain heroes by calling on your Congressperson to support the Clean Water Protection Act:
- Set up an in-district meeting with your local Congressional office or just drop by. Setting up a meeting is simple! Here’s how.
- Join our National Call-in Day
This simple action will have a huge impact.
We have many champions fighting with us in Congress - 121 to date - but many more who have repeatedly turned a blind eye to the deadly situation in Appalachia, or worse — actively campaigned to weaken what little protections exist. But it’s time to stand up to those bad actors and demand more, because Appalachia deserves better.
We will win, but we need you more than ever. Big Coal has taken note of our progress – and they are working overtime to erase our victories and block the passage of this bill.
Stand with us on June 6th.
For the Mountains,
Matt Wasson
