civil disobedience.











on tuesday the folks from coal river gathered in an act of civil disobedience on coal river mountain. these photos follow lorelei scarbor in her attempt to speak to those in the mine office. lines were literally drawn on the ground in the form of railroad tracks and warning was given that whoever crossed would be charged with trespassing. not all that crossed, like myself were arrested. actually the police were very nice and surprisingly cooperative in the matter. lorelei crossed and was arrested, at which point she walked directly across the street to the police station. very convenient. those who crossed were given tickets. all in all it was an exciting and worth while day for the campaign.
