The sign "Flush the EIS" refers to the draft Environmental Impacts Statement on mountaintop removal coal mining. The recommended actions in the EIS ignore the science, which shows MTR is horrifically terrible for communities and the environment, an instead recommends streamlining the MTR permitting process.

OVEC's co-director, Janet Fout (center), looks on.

The crowd responds to honks of support from passing cars.
