Women in West Virginia Shave Their Heads in Protest

West Virginia Women (and men) stood in solidarity with our mountains that have been stripped of their trees, plants, and top soil; our streams, springs and wells that have been destroyed; and with our people who are sick and dying as a result of mountaintop removal – by shaving their heads on the steps of the State Capitol today, Monday, May 28, 2012. It was a profoundly powerful and emotional expression of unity and commitment to the environment and the future of this great state.
