Actions Speak Louder than Word: 13 Arrested in Virginia Coal Fight!

By dchiotos - Posted on 30 June 2008

SEACers helped to plan & participated in this action - to everyone who planned and participated in this action, you're amazing!

Below is a snip from a post by Scott Parkin (the title's from his post too), to see the rest of the post, visit http://itsgettinghotinhere.org/2008/06/30/actions-speak-louder-than-word...

"Actions spoke louder than words today as Blue Ridge Earth First! (BREF!) and Mountain Justice (MJ) blockaded Dominion’s Richmond Headquarters early this morning. The all-woman lock down team anchored a climber who hung off a suspension bridge in protest of the air permit awarded to the company’s proposed coal plant in St. Paul, Virginia last week. This blockade is another in a line of escalating actions against coal plants and mountaintop removal in Virginia."
