Our mission is to improve policy and regulations for the oversight of fossil fuel extraction and use; to educate, empower and organize coalfield residents; and to protect public and environmental health. We provide community members with detailed information about proposed projects and potential impacts so they can make informed decisions about individual or collective actions. We connect people in similar struggles together to build power and to invest in the leadership of people living in Washington and Greene Counties.
By blending organizing, policy, legal, and communications work, we seek to create an expanded set of options for achieving justice than might be produced by following only one approach. Through these approaches, and by investing in people’s skills and leadership, our communities will be able to advocate effectively for a healthy environment and thriving economy.
