SOCM's 2012 Legislative Agenda
SOCM has two bills of our own this year: The Sewanee Prohibition Bill and the Responsible Coal Operators Bill. We have also signed onto bills that address issues such as mountaintop removal, fracking, income taxes, and basic human rights. See our state legislative page for more information on our 2012 priorities.
Tell Governor Haslam to PUT AN END to Mountaintop Removal
Over the past 30 years, mountaintop removal coal mining has destroyed more than 500 mountains and buried over 2,000 miles of rivers and streams. SOCM has been fighting mountaintop removal and other destructive strip mining practices throughout our 40 years of existence. We Need Your Help Now!

One of the goals of SOCM's Green Collar Jobs committee is to educate people on how to reduce energy consumption. Doing so will reduce our reliance on dirty energy sources such as coal and nuclear and help build an economy in Tennessee based on energy efficiency and renewable energy. Over the next few months, we will be collecting stories from SOCM members who have made simple changes in how they use energy. Through this series, we want to open the doors of communication and increase awareness around our energy consumption. Check out member stories on our Green Collar Jobs page!
