OVEC Celebrates 25 Years of Organized Voices and Empowered Communities!
Wow! Happy 25th Birthday OVEC! Who would have thought that OVEC would still be going strong considering our humble beginnings—a small committed group of people that stood up, spoke out and said “NO” to a major polluter? But here we all are, together celebrating a significant milestone in OVEC’s life— 25 years of hard-won […] More

Rescue Warranted for the WV Supreme Court Public Campaign Pilot
More and more these days, I’m beginning to believe that I live in “upside-down” world, the Bo-Zone Layer (thank you Far Side cartoons) or some other convoluted universe.

All That and Mountains, Too
A year ago, I couldn’t have imagined going to Rio de Janiero, Brazil, let alone going there to participate in the UN Conference on Sustainable Development, known as Rio+20.

The Future We Don’t Want
Below is a statement from the Non-govermental Organizations (NGOs) attending the Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development. Much frustration exists among ordinary people here over the fact that that 20 nations are deciding the fate of 195.

Locks Sheared for The Mountains
Marilyn Mullins had a dream and then she acted on it. Via Facebook, to call for an end to mountaintop removal, she organized a Memorial Day head-shaving event for women at the State Capitol.
