On July 8th, at noon in Monroe Park, there will begin a large demonstration in solidarity with those protesting the G8 in Scotland. As a part of the resistance to global capitalism, especially the control which energy companies maintain over our communities and Earth, this day will be focused on opposition to mountain top removal coal mining, and specifically Massey Energy.
Massey Energy is one of if not the worst company involved in this form of mining, which is quickly robbing appalachians of jobs and destroying the very mountains we depend upon to survive. They are a unionbusting, air and water poisoning, sludge dam building parasite that leaches off and ultimately will destroy the culture and land of Appalachia.
