Coal Finance Day of Action in West Virginia

Topics: Coal

I’ve gotten a lot of pictures and reportbacks from our day of action against Bank of America and Citi’s financing of King Coal in the past 2 days. But today, our friends at Coal River Mountain Watch sent me their action shots. They speak for themselves and serve as a reminder as to why we were out this weekend.

This is Pauline, one of the “Dustbusters” living in Sylvester WV.

This is Kayford Mountain WV, with Larry Gibson and students from James Madison University (they also did an action in Harrisonburg Va yesterday).

And these are some friends of mine in Whitesville, right down the road from Marsh Fork Elementary.
