    Title ShortRural Resistance, Radical Resilience
    Venue Oasis
    Experience DescriptionThe land and people of the Central Appalachian Coalfields of Southern West Virginia, Southwestern Virginia, and Southeastern Kentucky are among the most exploited in the US. But even as federal and state political and business interests seek to further oppress the region's residents and accelerate environmental destruction, a movement has taken root in the lowest of the low places to unite people and communities to stand together against their own systemic destruction. From legislative advocacy for clean water infrastructure to finding creative ways to leverage communities’ own assets to provide for residents’ needs, innovative faith leaders are building coalitions across lines of denomination, race, gender, socio-economics, religious beliefs and more to build momentum toward justice and liberation for a forgotten people.
