Invitation to Screening of Coal Country

Filed in National by on November 9, 2009

From the invitation email:

Everyone is invited to a special Coal Country movie screening being co-hosted by Harmony on the Hill at Wilmington Friends Meeting and the Delaware Chapter of the Sierra Club. The movie sneak preview (about 40 mins of the whole movie, I understand) and discussion is at Wilmington Friends Meeting at 4th & West Streets, Wilmington, on Thursday November 12th at 7 p.m. This event is FREE and open to the public (donations are always welcome). For details, please click on the link to the Event Page below and let us know whether you can come.

Coal Country (http://www.coalcountrythemovie.com) is the stunning new documentary about mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia. This powerful film reveals the shocking true cost of coal, as it takes us through the personal stories of coal miners, and the residents of Appalachia who have lost their mountains, their homes, and their history to mountaintop removal mining.

Our party will be one of hundreds of Coal Country gatherings (http://www.sierraclub.org/coalcountry) held nationwide by Sierra Club supporters the week of November 10 through 14. Thousands of people will be getting together in their communities to watch Coal Country and take action against mountaintop removal.

You can be a part of this crucial effort to end mountaintop removal mining, and help move America beyond coal, by attending our Coal Country gathering! Join us for a screening, a discussion, and a special celebrity call-in featuring leaders from the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign, organizers from the Appalachian coalfield (including those featured in the film), and special guests! After the film, we’ll take action together to end mountaintop removal mining. Please click on the link to our screening event page and RSVP. For more information, please see www.harmonyonthehill.com

We hope you can come! Feel free to spread the word!
