Senate Hearing on Mountaintop Removal Impacts

Jun 22nd, 2009 by admin

Come join us in Washington, D.C.!

Thursday, June 25th at 3:30 pm
Senate Subcommittee on Water and Wildlife will host a historic briefing on the
“Impacts of Mountaintop Removal Coal Mining on Water Quality in Appalachia.”
Room 406, Dirksen Senate Office
Bldg. 1st St. & Constitution Ave
Washington, DC 20510

We need you to let Congress know we are serious about ending mountaintop removal once and for all — and that mountaintop removal coal mining is an urgent danger to the human and economic health of the Appalachian region. We need swift action on mountaintop removal — and a just transition to a clean, healthy economy.

Can’t Come? Pick up the phone and dial the Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to tell your Senator to ACT NOW to pass legislation that would ban the construction of valley fills — and invite them to attend this historic hearing.
