All 12 arrestees from Jan. 26 #StopPeabody action have been released from jail! However, one activist is still in jail after his Jan. 22 arrest at Arch Coal’s headquarters.
Please consider a contribution to the Legal Defense Fund to support these great folks.

The national anti-extraction movement continues to grow. Here’s a collection of videos and photos from the two MORE-RAMPS-BMIS Winter Action Camp actions, and the letter from Black Mesa to Peabody:
