APPALACHIAN VOICES

Founded in 1997, Appalachian Voices brings people together to protect the land, air and water of Central and Southern Appalachia and advance a just transition to a generative and equitable clean energy economy... With offices in Boone, North Carolina, Charlottesville and Wise County, Virginia, and Knoxville, Tennessee, we leverage grassroots organizing, community engagement, policy advocacy and technical expertise to hold decisionmakers accountable in courtrooms, in state capitals and in Washington, D.C. From Appalachia to the Eastern piedmont, we build enduring partnerships with local leaders and organizations, and forge strategic relationships with state and federal officials at the highest levels of power. Our publication, The Appalachian Voice,, celebrates the region and shares stories of the people who are working to protect it... Appalachian Voices holds a profound responsibility to safeguard our beloved mountains and rivers, our forests and farmland, our neighbors' well-being..
