ADC To Rally Against Israeli Atrocities on July 18

Beirut, Lebanon | Yesterday, July 12, one of the bridges nearby was bombed. By the time I made it home, only minutes later, Israeli war planes had bombed the area hitting two other bridges close by. Then, around midnight local time we heard that the bombings had killed many people who lived near the bridges, again only few blocks away from me. Four cars fell off the bridge during the attack.

Burning coal is not only a primary factor behind global climate change, but also drives the expansion of large scale strip mining. Large scale surface mining destroys forests, streams and communities as it alters the Appalachian landscape forever.
