Mountain Justice Spring Break, Ohio

March 22 - 30, 2008

The 2008 Ohio Mountain Justice Spring Break took place at the Wisteria Campground, in Meigs County. Meigs County is one of the most impoverished counties in Ohio, with some of the highest lung cancer and premature death rates due industrial pollution in the country. There are 4 coal power plants within 10 miles of Meigs and the coal barons of the Midwest are planning on building five more.

The week ended with student activists with Ohio Student Environmental Coalition and members of Mountain Justice Spring Break occupying the lobby of American Municipal Power and sucessfully demanding an impromptu meeting with CEO Mark Gerken.
