Kudos to our friends throughout Appalachia, who brought their message about harmful mountaintop removal mining directly to the White House. 100 were arrested as part of [Appalachia Rising](https://www.appalachiarising.org), including 350 messenger Dr. James Hansen. Obama's getting a lot of attention from the climate movement these days!
