 Sludge
Safety Project Readies Variety of Efforts for 2009 WV Legislative
Session
Our Sludge Safety Project is gearing up for the 2009
West Virginia Legislative Session, and we want you to be a part of the
action.
Host an SSP Community Meeting for Water Rights
As this newsletter goes to print, we have 10 community
meetings scheduled across southern West Virginia. We will be meeting in
kitchens, churches and community centers to talk with small groups about
their water rights and how, together, we can improve the health and
safety of West Virginians this legislative session.
Invite a few friends over, and lets get together at
your place next!
Receive and Share Our Coalfield Organizing Tool Kit
Over the years in SSP, we have learned much and built
connections with intelligent and helpful allies locally and nationally.
This tool kit is a first attempt to get that information down on paper
and into the hands of people who need it most.
This resource is geared toward any who wants to take
action but finds themselves puzzled as to how to get started. We have
helpful tips for organizing and developing your own leadership skills,
as well as information on the nitty-gritty of bad water, sludge
impoundments and strip-mining permits.
Give us a call or drop an e-mail and well get one (or
more) sent your way.
