Coal is the topic on everyone’s minds. Greenpeace are taking over smokestacks in Chicago. People are marching on Blair Mountain. And Rainforest Action Network has no end in sight for its efforts to stop Wall Street’s bankrolling of Big Coal.
Coal exports are the new fight brewing in the Pacific Northwest and Rainforest Action Network is joining a broad coalition of local, regional, national and international groups fighting to stop coal exports.
Join RAN’s Northwest Coal Summit on June 24-27.

The weekend will include workshops, skillshares, networking, keynote speakers and, of course, action (it’s our middle name)! Apply today using the form below. Deadline for applications is June 8th.
