Join us for an exciting and purpose-full day of action in Frankfort as we come together to push our legislators to do the right thing to protect Kentuckians by passing the Stream Saver bill and clean energy legislation.
More than 1,400 miles of streams in Kentucky were buried or significantly damaged by coal mining valley fills between 1981 and 2005, and more destruction continues every day. These headwaters are the source of major rivers that provide drinking water for more than 1 million Kentuckians. Truly, we all live downstream.
Help us encourage the Kentucky legislature this session to pass The Stream Saver Bill (Senate Bill 139) at the 2010 “I Love Mountains Day” march and rally at the state capitol on Thursday, February 11.
Members of KFTC and many others from across the state who are working to end mountaintop removal will gather at 11 a.m. at the Capital Ave. Bridge over the Kentucky River to march in unity to the state capitol (.6 mile).
The march will be followed by an energizing rally on the front steps of the capitol.
