After five years of action by Earth Quaker Action Team, PNC announced today a shift in its policy that will effectively cease its financing of mountaintop removal coal mining in Appalachia.
Together we have shifted the policy of the seventh largest U.S. bank! This marks a major turnaround for PNC, who for years refused to budge on this issue. After more than 125 actions, their desire to continue business as usual proved no match for EQAT and our allies.
As more and more banks stop financing mountaintop removal, we expect it to become increasingly difficult over the next few years for mountaintop removal coal companies to secure financing for their destructive operations. So, join us in thanking the people of Appalachia who continue to inspire us and take bold action.
Celebrate and share this news widely. Together we have shown that strategic nonviolent direct action makes a difference. EQAT will continue to keep an eye on PNC to be sure that it follows through with this policy change. We will be looking forward to the next campaign.

“John McCutcheon is not only one of the best musicians in the USA, but also a great singer, songwriter, and song leader. And not just incidentally, he is committed to helping hard-working people everywhere to organize and push this world in a better direction.” — Pete Seeger
We are thrilled to announce that WXPN’s Ian Zolitor, will serve as the Master of Ceremonies at the Keep Media Green Benefit Concert with John McCutcheon.
Ian Zolitor is the host of the much-loved WXPN Folk Show, which is broadcast every Sunday night from 8 to 10 pm.
In addition to his role on the Folk Show, Ian is also a performing musician, playing bass guitar, and a tireless promoter of local, regional, and national folk music, appearing at folk clubs, folk festivals, and open mic events throughout the Delaware Valley and around the country.
And Ian has roots in Media! He lived in Everybody’s Hometown for a while back in the early part of the decade and fondly recalls his time hanging out on and around State Street.
“I love Media,” Zolitor enthused when accepting the offer to emcee Keep Media Green’s Benefit Concert, “and I’m totally on board with a nonprofit organization working to defend my old hometown’s parks and greenspaces. Plus, I’m pumped to be a part of a concert with John McCutcheon, one of my heroes and a hall-of-fame American folk musician.”
Tickets for the Benefit Concert are selling fast, we recommend that Keep Media Green supporters who want to attend purchase their tickets ASAP.
We come together on a regular basis as a community dedicated to finding our way as the old world dies and a new world is born. As we deepen and enrich our connections with each other, we feel supported to do the important work of inner transition. We examine our attitudes, beliefs and assumptions. We share our struggles, fears, anger and grief as well as our joys and successes.
In the words of Joanna Macy, We are all involved in a huge, absolutely necessary transition from the Industrial Growth Society to a Life-Sustaining Society. It is an enormous privilege to be alive at this time and to be playing a part in this transition. It will bring forth our strength, creativity and courage. The choices and decisions we make now will determine if there will be a future for our children and grandchildren. We’re all in this together. Don’t go into isolation. We need to look into each other’s eyes and hold each other’s hands.
We are currently reading Charles Eisenstein’s book, The More Beautiful World Our Hearts Know is Possible. Come join us! TTM’s Inner Transition Group meets at 7 PM on the third Thursday of each month. Contact Marion at info@TransitionTownMedia.org for location.
