Worked with Earthjustice to coordinate a tour of a mountaintop removal site in KY and a reclaimed site in Southwest VA with Congressman Grijalva. This included a town hall-style meeting, where about 30 community members shared their experiences, concerns, and ideas for addressing coal’s toxic legacy. It was through this connection we were able to share our research and report on the state of bonding practices in Central Appalachia. This information was used as a resource to draft an upcoming energy bill through the House of Natural Resources.
