The Senior Citizens March to End Mountaintop Removal ended in a protest and press conference at Massey subsidiary Mammoth Coal Company on US-60, east of Cedar Grove, at 4:00 p.m. on Oct, 12th. Mammoth Coal Company is 25 miles from the march’s starting point at the state capitol in Charleston. At least 28 seniors between the ages of 50 and 88 put their feet to the pavement during the 25 mile walk, including Larry Gibson of Kayford Mountain and Jesse Johnson of the Mountain Party. The march ended peacefully with no arrests or conflicts. Baffled by this the army of corporate media teams were then forced to interview the elders about why the had marched and coverage was seen on every local TV station in Charleston.

Sr's MTR March Day 3 ~ Let the Games Begin
Download
Two young people unfurled a banner which read, “Yes, Coal is Killing West Virginia’s Communities” off of the
Walker CAT building in Belle, W.Va. Saturday afternoon. The youth are affiliated with Climate Ground Zero and say they acted in autonomous solidarity with the Senior Citizens March to End Mountaintop Removal, are affiliated with Climate Ground Zero. The marchers passed the Walker CAT building on today’s route.
The March received its first physical harassment today. At 2:00 p.m.
a driver threw a cup of water on Micklem, who says he “took it in
stride.” The march has attracted both support and derision from
passerbys. Marchers who so choose still plan to commit an act of
non-violent civil disobedience to protest mountaintop removal at the
conclusion of the march at Mammoth Coal Company on Monday afternoon.
