Sr.'s MTR March ~ Day 3 ~ Let the Games Begin

Two young people unfurled a banner which read, Yes, Coal is Killing West Virginia's Communities off of the
Walker CAT building in Belle, W.Va. Saturday afternoon. The youth are affiliated with Climate Ground Zero and say they acted in autonomous solidarity with the Senior Citizens March to End Mountaintop Removal, are affiliated with Climate Ground Zero. The marchers passed the Walker CAT building on todays route.

The March received its first physical harassment today. At 2pm a driver threw a cup of water on Micklem, who says he took it in stride. The march has attracted both support and derision from passerbys. Marchers who so choose still plan to commit an act of non-violent civil disobedience to protest mountaintop removal at the conclusion of the march at Mammoth Coal Company on Monday afternoon.

@wturner0018 I post as much important info as I can.  I make a little bit of money at it. From Google ads & occasionally selling footage to documentaries or TV. I am independent of any organized funding. Often I get no strings donations from individuals who feel my work is valuable. I make most of my living from my "other" job. If you would like to support my work make a donation or don't be afraid to click an ad associated with my videos IF the ad is something you are interested in.

A beautiful thing. Does my heart good. Also one of my favourite songs about coal along with "Red Wing Blackbird".

Thanks Flux. I love the politeness and the humanity and the dignity of these people.

For one mad second, I thought this was against MATR. That would be very personally satisfying to me, but this was a good thing too. Go get the bastidges and shine the light on their corporate cock roach ways!
