Who are we?
The Alliance for Appalachia is a regional alliance with the goals of ending a devastating form of coal mining called mountaintop removal coal mining, putting a halt to destructive coal technologies and supporting a sustainable, just economy in Appalachia.
To learn more about mountaintop removal coal mining and some of the communities the members of The Alliance for Appalachia represent, please visit the website www.ilovemountains.org or one of our members’ websites which can be found to the right of the page.
Beginning in the spring of 2006, thirteen organizations from five states in Central Appalachia have worked together to build this alliance. We are pursing a number of complementary strategies including grassroots organizing, leadership development, strategic communications, alliance building, research, litigation, and more.
We believe that our campaign to abolish mountaintop removal mining can be an important element of the national effort for progressive, systemic change in our nation’s energy, economic, and environmental policies. By highlighting the dangers and true costs of our dependence on coal, we can help move the nation away from our current extraction economy and toward a new ethic of conservation, efficiency and renewable energy.
