Posted on Author Linda Boyd Comments Off on RailAmerica drops pursuit of coal terminal for Grays Harbor
A huge thanks to activists who have been organizing against dirty coal. Special thanks to the good people of Helena, who are risking arrest to oppose the sacrifice of the NW by international profiteers. We have had a small bit of good news In WA — RailAmerica has dropped their plans at one of our ports. One down, five to go! All of the work opposing the coal trains — from the mines to the sea — is beginning to have an impact. Thanks to all who have organized drawn the line. Thank you, Rocky Anderson, for opposing coal exports. Solidarity!
