Groups Taking Action
We can't fight this problem as individuals. Here are links to groups doing important work to stop coal in BC and along the US west coast. Get in touch and get involved!
The go-to group if you want to get involved in the environmental assessment process for the proposed Raven coal mine on Vancouver Island. Stopping coal one mine at a time!
Focused on ending BC's role in exporting coal. If you are ready to stand together with other British Columbians to confront the causes of global warming head on, this is the group for you. Conducts training in peaceful civil disobedience, legal awareness and non-violent direct action.
The USA has enormous reserves of coal. Domestic markets are declining, and big coal companies wants to ship their product to Asia. While BC groups work to stop the export of US coal from our province, this coalition of environmental and community groups is working to prevent coal ports from being constructed on the US west coast. We are not alone!
