 Please Come Out July 30
If you can attend only one event this summer to help end mountaintop removal, make this the one! Join Friends of the Mountains member groups at noon on Saturday, July 30 as we show our numbers in a Stop Mountaintop Removal Rally. We'll gather at the Capitol Circle on the State Capitol Grounds (north of the Capitol Building). Tell Governor Manchin No More Mountaintop Removal! We need you, your family, your neighbors and everyone you can bring along.

If you can, bring a folding chair and an umbrella for shade from 'shine or shelter from showers.

Click here to download a flyer for the event. Help increase attendance at the event by posting the flyers about town. You'll need free Adobe Reader installed on your computer to open the flyer.

We hope to see you and your friends there!

For carpooling info, call 304-522-0246. Better yet, organize your own carpool and bring loads of friends!

 Help Us Reach Our Clean Elections Challenge Grant Goal
As this is written, we are about $5,000 shy of our $25,000 goal in a Clean Elections challenge grant. That's right, OVEC and the WV Citizen Action Group have already raised $20,000 toward our Piper Fund challenge grant! Piper, a foundation that provides funding for our election reform work, will grant us $25,000 if we raise an additional $25,000 from people like you by July 30. Help us in the countdown to July 30--donate! Our Clean Elections work helps us address a root cause of mountaintop removal--Big Coal's stranglehold over state politics. For more information, visit our "voter-owned" website.
