14 Anti-Coal Activists Arrested in Tennessee
--------------------------------------------



In Tennessee, fourteen anti-coal activists were arrested Saturday as
they participated in a die-in in front of the Tennessee Valley
Authority’s headquarters in Knoxville. Organizers said the action was
held to show solidarity with communities affected by the destructive
impacts of mountaintop removal coal mining and the survivors of the
recent coal ash disaster outside of Knoxville.
