New Collection of Stories from Southwest Virginia
Feb 12th, 2010 by admin
The RRENEW Collective – based in Appalachia, Virginia – has recently published a powerful short collection of stories on organizing against mountaintop removal – their write up follows:
It Takes Unity
Stories from Members of the Southern Appalachian Mountain Stewards
There’s a reason why people do things, there’s a reason why people organize their communities. These are the stories of a few members of the Southern Appalachian Mountain Stewards, the stories of what got them involved with fighting back against the coal companies that most of them worked for, the stories of their relationship to the mountains, and the things that they envision for their communities.
