Climate Ground Zero doea non-violent direct action in west virginia against mountaintop removal in appalachia. climate ground zero uses a variety of tactics, from rallies and marches and sit-ins to lockdowns to mining equipment and tree-sits. we work to raise awareness and bring publicity to the issue of mountaintop removal and coal and its direct effect on carbon emissions and the growing climate crisis. mountaintop removal devastates both the environment and people of appalachia; it poisons the groundwater and headsprings for the rivers which supply drinking water for the entire northeast region, wipes out indigenous species, demolishes some of the oldest and most biodiverse mountains in the world, and brings countless health problems to the people who live near mountaintop removal and coal processing sites.

Much of climate ground zero's focus is presently on coal river mountain, the last untouched peak in the coal river valley. massey energy very recently began blasting on coal river mountain; we're working hard on actions to stop work and bring attention to sustainable wind energy as alternatives to coal. the coal river wind project aims to put wind turbines on coal river mountain instead of blowing up the mountain for coal; this would provide permanent, green jobs in contrast to the few short-term mining jobs that would be available in destroying the mountain for coal.

Buy Stuff, Wrap It Up, Give It Away. Ask to borrow it the next week.

It's almost chrissmas, or whatever it was you celebrated as a kid. You so gotta buy your people their presents from the Iron Rail, and support this place's existence! Don't make us have to rise from the dead, too!

Everyone loves a good book, a nice pin, a zine, a 2010 Slingshot Organizer, or their very own Palestinian Kuffiyeh.

Don't mess this up or Jesus will hunt you down and burn you alive with his lazer-beam eyeballs. Write it down now so you don't forget, and you're friends never talk to you again.

Get Your Massage! Pay What You Can! Love The World Again!


ASHER is back at the Iron Rail, giving massages!

This Saturday, November 21, from 2-6 p.m.

Asher is a certified, professional masseuse who is generously donating his skills to help raise funds for our ambitious but impoverished little infoshop/spa. He's got a chair and everything. He went to school for this, but more importantly, he's just great at it. Those who he's touched rave about him, and this is YOUR CHANCE to find out why!

His hands are the hands of a great sculptor, or perhaps a symphony conductor who splits his own cordwood: the hands of a do-er, a master craftsperson, a kinaesthetic shaper of better destinies.

And folks, it is THOSE EXTRAORDINARY HANDS, those same heaven-infused, sinewed extremities which Asher will deploy to sculpt YOUR VERY FLESH, working out stresses that might date back months, even years... tension you've been carrying for a decade, unawares! This is your chance. He's got the goods; let him heal you.
Pay what you can (no amount would be too much), but do not miss out on this...

Suggested donation is $5 for 5 minutes. No one turned away!

The incredible ASHER will melt your troubles away with a more regular bi-weekly schedule of pay-what-you-can chair massages some day in the not too distant future, so stay tuned for that!

Come find out what this skilled artisan has to offer!
