Navajo/Hopi

• This is cleanup on the #NavajoNation a year AFTER Kayenta coal mine closed. Hundreds of miners are eager to go back to work on reclamation but can’t because of delays by @peabodyenergy and @OSMRE https://bit.ly/ReclamationJobs @NNPrezNez @NavajoCouncil #NavajoEquitableEconomy
• This is cleanup on the #HopiTribe a year AFTER Kayenta coal mine closed. Hundreds of miners are eager to go back to work on reclamation but can’t because of delays by @peabodyenergy and @OSMRE https://bit.ly/ReclamationJobs @BlackMesaTrust
• 300+ #NavajoNation and #HopiTribe workers were laid off when Kayenta coal mine closed last year. New research from @worcaction shows over 200 could be back at work if @peabodyenergy and @OSMRE would stop delaying reclamation https://bit.ly/ReclamationJobs @NNPrezNez @NavajoCouncil
• A year AFTER Kayenta coal mine closed, almost no progress has been made on reclaiming #NavajoNation, #HopiTribe land & water. Research from @worcaction shows @peabodyenergy could hire 200+ workers for cleanup https://bit.ly/ReclamationJobs @NNPrezNez @NavajoCouncil @RepRaulGrijalva
• It’s time to put 200+ #NavajoNation and #HopiTribe miners back to work cleaning up Kayenta coal mine, which has been closed for more than a year. No more delays, no more excuses from @peabodyenergy and @OSMRE https://bit.ly/ReclamationJobs @NNPrezNez @NavajoCouncil @RepRaulGrijalva
• Dear @RepRaulGrijalva, we are grateful for your past efforts to help ensure proper reclamation at Kayenta coal mine. Here’s why your continued help is needed now more than ever; 200+ #NavajoNation and #HopiTribe cleanup jobs lie in the balance https://bit.ly/ReclamationJobs @worcaction

General

• As the coal industry continues to decline, new research from @worcaction shows 6,000 full time jobs could be created to reclaim tens of thousands of acres of mined land across the West https://bit.ly/ReclamationJobs #ReclamationJobs
• Research from @worcaction shows thousands of jobs can be created in coal communities across the West to reclaim mines; critical news as thousands of miners have been laid off https://bit.ly/ReclamationJobs #ReclamationJobs
• After decades of coal mining across the West, 150,000 acres of coal pits and mine facilities require reclamation — and that means thousands of jobs at time when they couldn’t be more important https://bit.ly/ReclamationJobs @worcaction #ReclamationJobs

New Mexico

• Coal plants and mines have already closed in #NewMexico, and more will be closing soon as the coal industry continues a to fade away. There are, however, hundreds of goods jobs to keep miners employed cleaning up https://bit.ly/ReclamationJobs @worcaction #ReclamationJobs
• Nobody is more deserving of a soft landing than the hundreds of hard-working #NewMexico coal miners who have dedicated their lives to keeping our lights on. Ensuring they have jobs cleaning up is one way to support them in a just transition https://bit.ly/ReclamationJobs @worcaction
