Appalachian Voices

Appalachian Voices is a nonprofit environmental advocacy organization founded in 1997 and headquartered in Boone, North Carolina, with offices across Central and Southern Appalachia. It brings people together to protect the land, air, and water of the region and to advance a just transition to a clean, equitable energy economy. Through grassroots organizing, policy advocacy, litigation, technical expertise, and its publication The Appalachian Voice, it works to end mountaintop removal coal mining, fight unnecessary fracked-gas pipelines, remediate coal pollution, and build community wealth.
