Why should I join Friends of Coal?
There are two main reasons:
- Informed supporters. Through word-of-mouth and the Internet, members of the Friends of Coal West will receive information about the coal industry and its importance to the West. This information will also include updates on the activities of the group and upcoming events.
- Grassroots recruitment. As a member of the Friends of Coal West, it is vital to the success of the group that each member also recruit family members, neighbors and fellow workers to join, whether or not they are directly involved in the coal industry.
How do I join?
To join, all you have to do is provide your contact information. You’ll be part of a growing team that’s working across the west and other states to increase our membership and show the “strength in numbers” that our coal has through bumper stickers, events and making our voice heard in the mass media.
