Please join us for our monthly meeting for members and supporters (that’s you!) on July 30th. You are the center of our work; without you, we wouldn’t exist. We want to engage more directly in person with you, and so we are offering more frequent member meetings than we were able to offer in the past. 

Come to the office of the Center for Coalfield Justice at 14 East Beau Street in Washington, PA*, on July 30th from 6:00-8:00 PM. We will be offering potluck dishes (feel free to bring your own!) and showing a short film about climate and environmental justice starting at 6:30 PM, after which we’ll have a brief discussion and conversation.

 If you’re coming, kindly let us know on our Facebook page for the event. You can also advise us there if you’re bringing a contribution to the potluck. Alternatively, give us a call at 724-229-3550.

 You’ll also be able to learn about our current work and volunteer opportunities, as well as share with us your ideas about the direction of CCJ. 

 Our communities are the heart of our organization, and we are focused on organizing, educating, and advocating with you. We really look forward to seeing you on July 30th! 

*Accessible entrance to the Center for Coalfield Justice Office is through the Washington Trust Building on 6 N Main St, Washington, PA 15301. Once entering the building use the elevator to go to the basement level, turn left out of the elevator, and go down the hallway. Our office is through the steel doors on your left. (Please let us know if you will be using this entrance)

    Lisa (Coffield) DePaoli joined the CCJ staff in 2018 and is now our Communications Director. She grew up in rural Washington County, has family in both Washington and Greene Counties, and has always loved animals and spending time outdoors. A first-generation and nontraditional college student, her deep interest in human beings and ecology led her to earn a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Pittsburgh in 2012. She has worked on research projects and taught at the university level in the U.S. and in field schools in Latin America. The knowledge and experience she gained increased her concern for environmental and social justice issues, which she believes are best addressed at the local level, or from the "bottom up," including the voices of those who are most impacted. Lisa works to understand issues from the local to the global, seeks to make a positive difference, and loves to talk to people about what interests or concerns them. In her free time, she enjoys reading, spending time with her family, furkids, and friends, and walking in the woods with her dogs. Contact Lisa at lisa@centerforcoalfieldjustice.org.
