The beautiful Coal River Valley is hosting the 2009 Mountain Justice Fall Break. One hour south of Charleston, WV, it is home to wild bears, ginseng hunters, and strip mining. Activities will include visiting and learning about Marsh Fork Elementary, precariously placed under a 2.8 billion gallon sludge dam, and visiting Larry Gibson’s homeplace on Kayford Mountain and viewing the MTR site there. Hear the stories of affected community members. Come to learn, to get mad enough to spit, and then to strategize and network with student activists from around the country.

This event is held in conjunction with the 350.org day of action. It is sponsored by:

  • Mountain Justice
  • Coal River Mountain Watch
  • Climate Ground Zero
  • Student Environmental Action Coalition
