Blaine Township is a small rural township some 45 miles west of Pittsburgh, in Washington County, Pennsylvania. Western Pennsylvania has been mining coal for 250 years, but no mining has occurred in Blaine and its residents and township supervisors aim to keep it that way.

Support just, fair, and sustainable communities

Our system of law and government was founded in racial-divisiveness and colonization and is dominated by corporations. Please give today to help CELDF fight for a more democratic system and the Rights of Nature. CELDF uses every dollar of your donation to fight for rights.
