SAVE THE DATE: Feb. 14th is I Love Mountains Day

Thursday, January 31st, 2013

I Love Mountains Day 2013 is less than one month away!

Will you join us and be one of the more than 1,200 people standing up for clean water, clean energy, and a just economic transition for eastern Kentucky?

On February 14th, join with hundreds of Kentuckians to call for an end to the destructive practice of mountaintop removal coal mining and ask our leaders for clean energy solutions that provide good, safe jobs and healthy communities for Kentucky. 

All over Eastern Kentucky and Central Appalachia, residents in communities like Eolia, Hueysville, Benham, Lynch and Montgomery Creek are speaking up to protect their health and homeland from the destruction of coal and to create a more sustainable economy.

9 a.m. – 12 p.m. Optional Citizen Lobbying in Room 111, Capitol Annex.
12:00 p.m. Gather at the Kentucky River below the bridge at Capitol Ave.
12:30 p.m. March to the Capitol (Flat route is .6 miles.)
1:15 p.m. Rally on the Capitol steps — speakers, music, and a vision for Ky.
2:00 p.m. I Love Mountains Valentine Delivery

Able to arrive early? Help us welcome our friends at Footprints for Peace as they Walk for a Sustainable Future.

Wear red, invite a friend, bring a homemade sign, and a valentine for the governor.
