The Center for Coalfield Justice along with partners from the Alliance for Appalachia are planning a trip to DC to advocate for the RECLAIM Act and Black Lung benefits from September 23rd – 26th, and the trip will include meeting with congressional representatives, networking, and fellowship.
Come join us and travel to Washington, DC with our group of frontline residents working for clean water and healthy communities. The Appalachian region has paid a heavy price for coal industry abuse, from degraded land to our people’s health. Our members hold a strong vision of where we’re heading and have clear goals of how we’re going to get there. We see reclamation as a key component to achieving clean water, while also providing an opportunity to boost development and job creation.
A schedule of events will be announced after registration closes. We can provide scholarships for up to 10 people from Pennsylvania which include lodging, food, and travel. Register for the trip here.
If you have any questions, comments or concerns please contact Nick at 724-229-3550 extension 104 or nick@centerforcoalfieldjustice.org.
