Come to Mountain Justice Spring Break and support grassroots, community led resistance to environmental injustice!
This March, Mountain Justice Spring Break (MJSB) will bring together coalfield residents, college students, environmentalist and concerned citizens who are interested in learning more about mountaintop removal coal mining and cultivating the skills and visions needed to build a sustainable energy future in Appalachia. Through education, community service, speakers, hiking, music, poetry, direct action and more, you will learn from and stand with Appalachian communities in the struggle to maintain our land and culture.
In 2012 we are very excited to announce that Mountain Justice Spring Break will coordinate community service projects in the coal fields of northern West Virginia and the gas lands of Pennsylvania. In order to accommodate more students with various spring breaks, these service projects will take place before and after the week of camp. Please indicate on your registration form if you are interested, or contact the outreach coordinator, Michelle at mltodd22@gmail.com for more information.
Also, don't forget to check out Mountain Justice Summer, for more trainings, speakers, music, hiking, and direct action! Mountain Justice Summer will be taking place from May 18-25 at the Appalachian South Folklife Center in Pipestem, West Virginia.
