The People Speak out in Farmington, NM: Time to Keep our Coal in the Ground

On August 20, 2015 in Farmington, New Mexico, an overwhelming crowd turned out to tell the U.S. Department of the Interior to keep our coal in the ground. It was a historic moment in Farmington, which has for years been dominated by the coal industry. With our climate crisis mounting, the last thing we should be supporting is more coal mining and more coal burning..

The message delivered in Farmington to the Interior Department was simple: it’s time to move beyond coal. It’s time to keep it in the ground.
