This is a benefit for Tanya Turner, an EKU grad from Pineville, KY, who U-locked herself to a coal mining truck on Kayford Mountain, West Virginia in a non-violent protest of mountaintop removal, following the Mountain Justice Summer camp in May. Tanya faces fines and court costs of $1900.
All proceeds go to help pay Tanya's fines and court costs.
