Hundreds in Maules Creek Mine Protests; Staying in FERC’s Face

(Before It's News)

Hundreds Participate in Lockdowns, Treesits, Protests. About 250 people gathered at the Leard State Forest in northern NSW from February 13 and 18 to stop Whitehaven Coal clearing the forest to make way for its proposed Maules Creek coalmine. The project has been plagued by protest for more than two years and more than 300 people have been arrested.

We are the ones demanding to be heard, closing down First Street and getting in the way of FERC’s rubber-stamping of fracked-gas projects all over the country.
